In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix melted ghee with flour on low speed.

Add water mixed with orange blossom little by little until a dough similar to shortbread forms.

Do not over mix to avoid developing gluten.

Place the dough in a Ziploc bag and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.

Prepare the filling by mixing roasted almonds, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter in a bowl.

Gather the mixture with orange blossom until it forms a dough-like paste.

Let the almond filling rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Weigh the dough (45 grams) and filling (17 grams) for each piece to ensure uniformity.

Shape the dough into a rectangle, fill with almond paste, and roll tightly into a crescent shape.

Poke the top of each crescent with a toothpick to prevent filling from leaking during baking.

Bake at 350°F for about 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.

Let the crescents cool overnight before decorating with sugar.

Soak each crescent in light syrup and then dip in confectioners sugar, allowing excess to drip off.

Let the crescents dry overnight before serving.
