How to make
Put the sifted flour with a pinch of baking powder and a pinch of salt into a bowl.
Add 1 egg, 2.5 oz (70 g) of powdered sugar, butter (cut into pieces) and the grated peel of 1 orange. Knead a soft dough.
Wrap the kneaded dough in a piece of nylon and refrigerate it for 1 hour. Roll out the cooled dough onto a floured surface with a thickness of 0.16″ (4 mm).
Cut out circles with a glass. In the middle of each circle put 1 teaspoon of orange jam or another one according to your taste.
Fold the circle into a crescent. With a fork, press the edges well, so that they do not open up during baking.
Arrange the Christmas pastries in a tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake them at 360°F (180°C) in a preheated oven for 10 minutes or until they're nicely browned.
Sprinkle the baked Christmas orange crescents with powdered sugar!
