How to Make Moroccan Gazelle Horns Kab El Ghzal Cornes De Gazelle

  1. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, powdered sugar, and ground almonds. Gradually add the melted butter, mixing until a smooth, pliable dough forms.
  2. Divide the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin oval shape (about 4-5 inches long and 2 inches wide).
  4. Spread a thin layer of almond paste along the length of the oval.
  5. Carefully roll up the oval from one end, forming a crescent shape.
  6. Curve the crescent into a horn shape.
  7. Place the horns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Let the Gazelle Horns cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.
