1 lb. butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 lb. almonds (not blanched, ground fine. I use a blender.)
4 cups flour
2 tsp vanilla

Cream the butter and sugar. Add almonds and vanilla. Mix well. Add 
flour. Roll a small ball of dough (1" or less) in the palm of your 
hand and then shape into a crescent. Bake at 300 degrees for 25-30 
minutes. Let cool. Roll in powered sugar. 

Makes about 8 dozen.
