200 g butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 – 1 cup granulated sugar

Preparation procedure

Dough preparation: Grate the chilled butter into a bowl. Add the flour, lemon juice, sour cream and egg yolks. Work the dough and put it in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
Glaze preparation: Whip the egg whites with the sugar and vanilla sugar.
Shaping the crescents: Divide the dough into three parts. Roll each part into a circle, spread the egg white glaze and cut into triangles. Roll a crescent from each triangle.
Baking: Place the crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C until golden.
Finishing: Let the baked crescents cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
