Chocolate Hazelnut Crescents - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 1/2 cups self-rising flour
    2 tbsp granulated sugar
    4 tbsp (1/2 stick) cold butter, chopped
    3/4 cup cold milk, approximately
    1/3 cup chocolate hazelnut spread, such as Nutella
    1/3 cup toasted hazelnuts, finely chopped
    None None Powdered sugar, to dust
Preparation
    Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F. Grease and line 2 baking pans with parchment paper. Sift the flour into a large bowl. Stir in the sugar. Rub in the butter to make fine crumbs.
    Make a well in the center and add the milk. Stir mixture until it forms a soft dough, adding 1-2 tbsp more milk if needed.
    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead briefly until smooth. Shape into a 3/4 inch-thick round. Turn the dough onto a large piece of parchment paper. Roll the dough out to a 16 x 12-inch rectangle, about 1/8 inch-thick.
    Spread the dough with chocolate hazelnut spread and sprinkle evenly with nuts. Cut the dough in half lengthwise.
    Cut each strip into 6 triangles with 4-inch bottoms. Discard the leftover dough. Roll up to enclose the filing and shape into a crescent. Place the crescents on the prepared trays.
    Bake for 20 mins or until golden-brown. Cool in pan 5 mins. Remove from pan; completely on wire rack. Dust with sifted powdered sugar to serve.
