Recipes

Vanilla Crescents 9 ounces all-purpose flour

3 K ounces toasted almonds

2 K ounces powdered sugar

Zest of half a lemon

K teaspoon salt

7 K ounces cold butter, cut in small

pieces

2 egg yolks

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine flour, almonds, powdered sugar,

lemon zest and salt in the food processor and

pulse until the almonds are ground. Add the

butter and pulse for 30 seconds. Add the egg

yolks and vanilla and pulse to combine. Place

the dough on a clean work surface and knead

till it’s combined. Allow the dough to rest in the

fridge for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 350° and position one rack

in the upper third and one in the lower third. Line

two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Lightly flour your work surface and roll pieces

of the dough into 2-inch ropes. Taper the ends

slightly, and form the ropes into crescents.

Carefully transfer the crescents to the baking

sheets, about K inch apart.

Bake 18 to 22 minutes until the bottoms are

golden and the tops pale blond, rotating the

sheet trays half way through baking time to

ensure even baking. Remove from oven and

allow to cool for 10 minutes.

Fill a small bowl with confectioners’ sugar.

While the cookies are still warm, coat them in the

sugar and transfer to a clean sheet of parchment

paper to cool slightly. Roll the cooled cookies in

the sugar again and let cool completely.

2 K cups heavy cream

O teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg

1 teaspoon kosher salt

K teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cinnamon stick

K cup sugar

5 egg yolks

3 tablespoons brandy

Position rack in center of oven preheated to 325 .̊

Arrange 8 (1/2-cup) ramekins or custard cups in a

large metal baking pan.

Combine heavy cream, nutmeg, salt, vanilla and cin-

namon stick in a pot and bring to boil in heavy medium

saucepan. Cover with lid and turn off heat and allow to

infuse the flavors for 30 minutes.

Combine sugar, yolks and brandy in a heatproof

bowl and whisk to blend. Bring heavy cream to a sim-

mer again and slowly add to the egg mixture (continue

mixing them with a whisk so you don’t cook the eggs).

Strain the mixture (to strain out the cinnamon stick

and to make sure no cooked egg yolks end in the

custard base).

Divide the custard between the baking dishes.

Transfer to oven and then pour enough boiling

water into baking pan to come halfway up sides

of dish. Bake until custard is just set around edges,

about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your oven

(custard will be soft in center). Remove dishes from

water bath. Cool to room temperature and refriger-

ate at least six hours.

BRÛLÉE N cup granulated sugar

N cup brown sugar

N teaspoon nutmeg

To brûlée, combine sugar, brown sugar and nutmeg

and sprinkle evenly over top of custards. Use a hand

torch to carefully melt the sugar mixture. Place the cus-

tards back in the fridge for 15 minutes to set. Garnish

with whipped cream if desired before serving.

As a child Weiner baked with her grandmother, then went on to train in Chicago before mov-ing to Traverse City where she’s cultivated a loyal (and addicted!) following. With the help of partner Laura Salvatore, Weiner markets her sweet masterpieces through her pastry catering business, Daniela’s Delectables.
