The vanille kipferl originated in Austria, and they are also very popular in Switzerland and Germany. The kipferl become even yummier after 2 to 3 days…but only for those who can resist long enough. If desired, the two ends of the kipferl can be dipped in warm chocolate and then left to cool.
Ingredients
- 2 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 7 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla sugar
- 1 ¼ cups ground almonds
- 6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the size of small peas and mix in with your hands.
Step 2
Mix 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, the egg, 3 teaspoons of vanilla sugar, and ground almonds into the flour mixture. Place the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 4
Divide the dough into several parts. Roll each section of dough into logs approximately 1/2 inch thick. Cut the logs into 1-inch pieces, and bend the pieces into a crescent shape (just like a croissant). Place the kipferl on the baking sheet and chill them for 15 minutes.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
Step 6
Combine 6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla sugar and toss to mix.
Step 7
While still warm, carefully remove kipferl from the baking sheet and dip them in sugar to coat.
Cook’s Note:
To Make Your Own Vanilla Sugar: Place 1 1/2 to 2 cups of sugar and place in pint jar. Put a clean vanilla bean in the jar, cover, and shake well. Let stand for a few days, shaking the jar occasionally, before using the sugar. As you use the vanilla sugar, replace what you remove with fresh sugar.
