Imbolc Crescent Cakes

Imbolc Crescent Cakes

Ingredients:

1¼ cups flour

¾ cup sugar

1 cup finely ground almonds

3 drops almond extract

½ cup butter or margarine, softened

1 tablespoon honey

1 egg yolk

In a large mixing bowl, combine the first four ingredients. Add the butter, honey, egg yolk and mix together well. Cover with aluminum foil or plastic wrap, and then chill for 1½ to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

When ready, pinch off pieces of the dough (about the size of plums) and shape them into crescents.

Place the crescents on a well-greased cookie sheet and bake in a 350-degree preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes. The recipe yields about one dozen crescent cakes.
