Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons of butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup of sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup of warm milk
  • 2 2/3 cups of all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
  • 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup of jam or marmalade
  • 2 tablespoons of melted butter, for brushing
  • 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the egg, melted butter, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and warm milk. Whisk to combine.
  2. Add the flour and yeast to the bowl and mix with a wooden spoon until the dough starts to come together.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let the dough rise for 1 hour.
  5. Once the dough has doubled in size, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to a 1/4-inch thickness.
  6. Cut the dough into 3-inch circles and place 1 teaspoon of jam or marmalade in the center of each circle.
  7. Fold the circles in half and pinch the edges together to seal in the filling.
  8. Place the crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush with melted butter.
  9. Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  10. Let cool before dusting with powdered sugar.
