The World Cup final is put to rest and has determined once and for all the popularity of medialunas, not croissants.

Medialunas are between a brioche and a croissant, made with a sweet enriched (eggs and butter) dough with many layers and a subtle hint of lemon and vanilla. The sweetness is restrained.
Medialunas are a little challenging to make but fabulous to eat. They can be frozen and popped in the microwave or toaster for a real treat. Don’t forget to try them if you ever go to Argentina.
I recommend using European-style butter in this recipe which is higher in fat, 82 percent for better taste.
