Hey Everyone,

I have a few free video lessons which may be useful for the group here.

I am a 25 year pastry chef, originally form Hamburg Germany. I come from a long line of pastry professionals in my family (fourth generation in fact).

This is one of my favourite cookies called an 'Almond Crescent' or in German 'Mandel Hoernchen'.
 

Hope you enjoy the video!

Here is the recipe as well for you:

FULL RECIPE:
Recipe Yield: 12 Cookies

• 200 g Almond Paste: DGF 50%
• 140 g Sugar
