Small logs bent into crescents. Count the time from when you start, and only move on once you get the result described.
12 minutes at 170°C; they should stay pale golden. Preheat the oven to the temperature given, with the rack in the middle. Only open the door if the recipe says so: the dish is ready when it is golden and the time is up.
