Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 100 grams Sunflower seeds
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 30 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon Milk
• 20 grams Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place sunflower seeds in a food processor and pulse until they are finely ground, resembling the texture of a coarse meal.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar, ground sunflower seeds, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined and the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

Unroll the puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into four equal triangles.

Step 5

Place about a tablespoon of the sunflower seed mixture at the base of each triangle, then roll up from the base toward the tip, forming a crescent shape.

Step 6

Arrange the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is space between each.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk. Brush this mixture lightly over the top of each crescent for a golden finish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

Step 9

Once baked, let the Nuss Gipfeli cool slightly, and then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
