Does anyone have a good recipe for medialuna?


Travel Info
I was in Buenos Aires a few weeks ago and my friend made me try a medialuna. I loved it and now that i'm back i really would like to learn how to make them.

Travel Tips
The thing to remember with medialunas is to use very good quality ingredients as it will make for a better flavour and texture. I found this recipe which is a bit of fun on the M&Ms website:
Ingredientes

1 taza (2 panes o 240 ml) de manteca o margarina ablandada
1 1/2 tazas (355 ml) de az煤car impalpable, divididas
1/2 cucharada de extracto de lim贸n
1/2 cucharada de ralladura de lim贸n
2 tazas (480 ml) de harina para tortas
1/2 taza (120 ml) de almendras, nueces o pacanas
1 cucharada de canela molida
1/2 cucharada de cardamo molido
1/2 cucharada de nuez moscada molida
1 envase de 12 onzas (1 戮 tazas o 340 gr) de M&M麓s庐 Chocolate


Preparaci贸n
Precalentar el horno a 190潞 C (375潞 F). Enmantecar ligeramente una asadera. En un bols grande batir la manteca y 陆 taza (120 ml) de az煤car; a帽adir el extracto y la ralladura de lim贸n hasta que se mezclen bien. En un bols mediano mezclar la harina, las nueces, la canela, el cardamo y la nuez moscada; agregar a la preparaci贸n anterior y mezclar bien. Agregar los M&M鈥檚庐. Utilizando 1 cucharada sopera de masa por vez, formar medialunas, colocarlas en la asadera a 50 mm (2 pulgadas) de distancia. Hornear 12 a 14 minutos o hasta que los bordes est茅n dorados. Dejar enfriar 2 minutos. Pasar las medialunas todav铆a calientes en la taza (240 ml) restante de az煤car. Dejar enfriar completamente. Guardar en un recipiente herm茅tico.

Rinde 2 docenas aproximadamente.

And this is another recipe I found for an alternative flavour:

PRECALIENTA el horno a 375掳F. Mezcla el queso crema y 2 cucharadas de la miel. Incorpora las almendras y revuelve.

DESENROLLA el rollo de masa para panes de medialuna; sep谩rala en 8 tri谩ngulos. Unta 1 cucharada colmada de la mezcla de queso crema sobre cada tri谩ngulo; enrolla la masa sin apretar mucho, comenzando por la parte m谩s corta y enrollando hacia el punto opuesto. Col贸cala, con el doblez hacia abajo, sobre una bandeja (chapa) para hornear sin engrasar; forma cada pan en forma de medialuna. Espolvorea con canela.

HORNEA de 12 a 14 minutos, o hasta que est茅 dorada. S铆rvela caliente, rociada uniformemente con la cucharada restante de miel.

Well, I'm afraid to tell you that 'medialuna' is imported. The person before me called it 'croissant', which is its original name. They are French.

So what I'd do is contact someone from France. ;) (oh, and who unlike myself LOL, can make them! ;) )
