Cornes de Gazelle / Kaab Ghzal

Ingredients:

  • 500g flour
  • 300g almond paste
  • 150g granulated sugar
  • 150g butter
  • 2 tbsp orange blossom water
  • Salt

Preparation:

  1. Mix the flour and melted butter, then add salt. Gradually add water and knead until the dough reaches a good consistency.
  2. Roll out the dough with a buttered rolling pin. Once the dough is thin enough (about 2 or 3 mm), cut it into squares of 10 centimeters on each side.
  3. Place some almond paste in the center of each square. Roll them up to form a crescent shape. Bake in the oven at 180-200°C (thermostat 5 or 6), checking regularly.
  4. After baking, drizzle with orange blossom water and coat with sugar.
