💡 Tips & Tricks

  • For an extra fine matcha taste, you can also mix matcha with powdered sugar and sprinkle it on top.
  • The crescents will last for about 2 weeks in a cookie jar - perfect for meal prep or gifts.
  • You can also add vanilla pulp or ground bourbon vanilla to enhance the classic note.
Can I also bake the crescents gluten-free?

Yes - replace the spelled flour with a gluten-free flour mixture with a binding agent (e.g. xanthan gum).
How strong do you taste the matcha?

Gentle - 1 teaspoon of matcha gives a subtle, slightly grassy note. For more intense flavor you can use 2 tsp.
Which butter alternative works best?

Cold, vegan margarine with a high fat content (at least 70%) is ideal – it makes the dough brittle.
What goes well with it in terms of taste?

Tea (e.g. jasmine or black tea), hot oat milk or a matcha latte make the crescents a cozy winter duo.
