Instructions: Note : During the years, I make the same crescents instead of Almonds, I take : 1/2 cup Ground Walnuts + 1/2 cup Haselnuts (Filbert) which I put them in the toaster oven for 10 -15 minutes or untill nice brown, Between my hands I rube them to remove the brown flaky skin,then I ground them.My family says that they are much better then the origenal.

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add 1/2 a cup flourone at a time to butter .Then add the nuts , Vanilla essence and salt. Continue to beat untill dough become slightly stif, You may add more flour. Shap dough into a ball ,wrap in nylon seal and refrigerate for an hour.

Pinch off walnuts - size pieces of the chilled dough, place them on floured board: Roll each one into a strip, an inch wide /1/2 inch thick. Shape to crescet.
