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.

With the help of partner Laura Salvatore, Weiner markets her sweet masterpieces through her pastry catering business, Daniela’s Delectables.
