Plum jam cornulețe

Ingredients

• 500 g flour
• 1 packet baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 150 g lard
• 100 g margarine
• 100 g sugar
• Zest of 1 lemon
• grated
• 2 packets vanilla sugar
• 2 eggs
• 30 ml milk (as needed)
• 450 ml plum jam
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
• 50 g icing sugar

Preparation

1. Sift the flour into a bowl and mix it with the baking powder and salt. Add the lard and margarine, then rub them into the flour between your palms until no large lumps remain. 2. Add the sugar, grated lemon zest, 1 packet of vanilla sugar and the eggs. Knead the dough; if it’s too dry, gradually add up to 30 ml of milk. Cover it and refrigerate for 30 minutes. 3. Mix the plum jam with the cinnamon and breadcrumbs. The filling should be thick, not run off the spoon. 4. Divide the dough into pieces about the size of a small ball and roll each piece into a circle about 3 mm thick. Cut the circle into quarters, then cut each quarter into smaller triangles, as large as you like. 5. Put a little jam at the base of each triangle and roll it towards the tip. Arrange the crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 6. Bake at 180°C for 40-45 minutes, until golden brown. Leave them to cool for 30 minutes, then dust them with the icing sugar and the remaining packet of vanilla sugar.
