Gazelle horns, north african treats

Ingredients

For the dough :

• 2 cups flour
• 2 Tbsp orange blossom water
• 2 Tbsp sunflower oil
• 2/3 cup water

For the almond filling :

• 3 cups almond flour
• 1 Tbsp cinnamon
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 ounce orange blossom water
• sunflower oil

Materials

• pastry wheel

Preparation

• Mix and knead all the ingredients for the dough. Form a ball, wrap it in plastic foil and put in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
• Mix together all the ingredients of the almond filling. It shouldn't be too dry, so add some orange blossom water if that is the case. Form sausage shaped little balls and put them aside.
  
• Once the dough has rested enough, take a little ball of it. Spread some oil on your hands, and strech out the dough finely.
• Put a ball of almond filling on it, and close it up.
  
• Spread some oil on your cooking table, and put it on it. Shape it as shown on the picture (or the video), and press the edges to close it.
• Cut the excess of dough using a pastry wheel.
  
• Arrange your gazelle horns on a baking tray, then leave them to dry for one hour.
  Then, bake them for 15 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
• There you are, your gazelle horns are ready!
