HAZELNUT CRESCENTS
This recipe was originally from "Super Food Ideas" magazine in 2005. The recipe is easy to make and the biscuits are great with a coffee. They look quite decadent ..so are great to serve to company. It should make 25-30 crescents. You can substitute almond meal for the hazelnut meal and almond essence for the vanilla essence as a variation To make this recipe for a gluten free diet- ensure the cornflour and icing sugar used are labelled as gluten free
