Viennese Crescents(From "Jane Brody'S Good Food Gourmet") - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 c. butter or butter-margarine mixture
1/4 c. sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. almond extract
1 c. (4 oz.) freshly ground almonds (use a blender or food processor)
1/4 c. skim milk
1 1/2 c. sifted flour

Preparation

In a medium-sized bowl, beat together butter and sugar until fluffy and well blended.
Add the vanilla and almond extracts and mix well.
Add the milk and blend for a few minutes (the milk won't go into the mixture completely).
Gradually add the flour, a little at a time, mixing well.
It's okay for the dough to be a little crumbly by the time you've added all the flour.
Add the ground almonds and mix as well as possible (break up the dough and distribute the almonds throughout).
