Yield: 20 servings
Ingredients: Flour: 260 g; Baking Powder: 1 tsp; Salt: A pinch; Vanilla: As needed; Butter: 80 g; Yogurt (or sour cream): 200 g; Egg Yolk: 1; Egg White: 1; Sugar: 40 g; Walnuts: 100 g; Powdered Sugar: 100-150 g

Directions

1. Step

In a bowl, mix 1 egg white until slightly foamy. Add vanilla and 40 g of sugar. Mix well. Stir in 100 g of walnuts and mix until evenly combined. Set aside.

2. Step

In a large bowl, combine 260 g of flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, a pinch of salt, and vanilla. Mix thoroughly. Add 80 g of butter and blend with your hands until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Incorporate 200 g of yogurt (or sour cream) and 1 egg yolk into the mixture. Mix with your hands until a soft dough forms.

3. Step

Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Then divide each part into 8 smaller pieces, rolling each into a ball. Roll out each dough ball into a flat circle. Divide each circle into 8 parts. Place 1 spoonful of the walnut mixture onto each section. Fold the edges to form a crescent or desired shape. Roll and place on a baking sheet.

4. Step

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the shaped dough for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Sprinkle with 100-150 g of powdered sugar, ensuring even coverage.
