Imi place mult in weekenduri sa coc ceva dulce si bun pentru familia mea, mi se pare un lucru tare placut sa gatesti cu cei dragi :) Azi am facut cu Ilinca niste cornulete fragede super bune, indulcite doar cu putina miere, minunate pentru pitici. Le puteti umple cu ce doriti: magiun de prune, gem fara zahar, nuci macinate, eu le-am facut in 3 feluri: simple, umplute cu rahat si cu magiun :) Si le-am pudra cu faina de cocos, ca sa evit extra zaharul pudra :D
Ingrediente (30 de buc):
- 200g unt
- 250g faina + extra pentru framantat
- 50g faina de migdale*
- 1 lgt scortisoara
- 2 lg miere
- 2-3 lg apa rece
- Umplutura: gem, rahat, nuci macinate etc
Mixam untul taiat cubulete cu faina, faina de migdale si restul ingredientelor, pana obtinem o bila de aluat pe care o transferam pe o suprafata pudrata cu faina. Framantam bine aluatul, iar cand obtinem o consistenta omogena, il infasuram in folie alimentara si il introducem in frigider pentru 1-2 ore sau ideal pana a doua zi.
Scoatem aluatul cu 30 de min inainte de utilizare, il framantam pana devine maleabil, apoi, pe o suprafata pudrata cu faina, intindem din el bucati pe care le rulam pana la un diametru de aprox 18-20 de cm; eu am decupat cercuri cu o forma mica rotunda de tort.
Taiem cercurile in 8 cu un cutit, punem umplutura si le rulam. Coacem cornuletele in cuptorul preincalzit la 180 C timp de 20-30 de min, in functie de dimensiunea lor, pana se rumenesc putin la baza. Pofta mare!
*Faina de migdale e optionala, dar da o aroma foarte placuta cornuletelor, daca o omiteti, mariti cantitatea de faina alba cu inca 50g. Folositi o miere fluida, nezaharisita.
ENGLISH VERSION
I really love baking a treat during weekends for my family, it’s so nice to cook with your loved ones :) Today I made, with help from Ilinca, some really tender honey crescents, slightly sweetened, with a wonderful hint of cinnamon, great for toddlers. You can fill them with plum sugar free jam, ground walnuts, I made them in 3 ways: plain, with sugar free jam filling and Turkish delight filling :)
Ingredients (30 pcs):
- 200 g butter
- 250 g all purpose flour + extra for kneading
- 50 g almond meal
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1-2 tbsp cold water
- Filling: jam, Turkish delight, ground walnuts etc
Mix the butter cut into cubes with the flour, almond meal and rest of the ingredients, until a ball of dough form. Transfer on a surface dusted with flour and knead until soft and smooth. Wrap in clingfilm and place in the fridge for 2-3 hours or better until the next day.
Take the dough out of the fridge 30 min before preparing the crescents. Knead it until it softens on a powdered surface, then roll into 18-20 cm circles; I used a round baking pan to make the circles.
Cut into 8 triangles, add the filling and roll them, then transfer on a tray lined with baking paper. Bake them in the preheated oven at 180 for 2-30 min, depending on their size, until they turn golden. Enjoy!
*The almond meal is optional, but it gives the crescents a really nice taste, substitute with all purpose flour if you want. Use a runny honey.
