Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in a sheet of wax paper, and place it in the least cold part of the refrigerator for half an hour.
- STEP 4 OF 9
Meanwhile, prepare the filling.
- STEP 5 OF 9
Sift the flour and potato starch into a bowl along with 75 g of powdered sugar: add two egg yolks, 15 g of very lukewarm melted butter, and finally the two egg whites beaten to stiff peaks.
- STEP 6 OF 9
After the indicated time, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 3 mm and use a cutter with a diameter of about 8 cm to cut out discs.

Distribute a little filling in each, brush the edge of each half-disc with beaten egg white, then fold the dough in half to form half-moons.
