Our Family Crescent Roll Recipe

by Melinda

1 c milk

1/2 c butter

1/2 c sugar

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp yeast

3 beaten eggs

4 1/2-5 c flour

Combine milk, butter, sugar and salt in a pan. Heat over medium-low heat until the butter is almost completely melted. Pour into your mixer. Add yeast and stir well. Add eggs; stir. Add flour slowly until dough is soft and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (at least an hour).  

Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Divide in half. 

Roll each half into a circle. Brush with melted butter. Cut like a pizza. Roll each piece up from the large side. Place on greased cookie sheet. Cover and let rise until double in size (roughly 30 minutes). 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake about 9-13 minutes (until golden). Brush with more melted butter and let cool on a cooling rack.

These rolls bring back memories of family dinners. I don't think we've had one Thanksgiving dinner without them! My mother loves to bake. We have many good memories cooking together in the kitchen. Maybe that's why these rolls make me happy! And I'm glad I can share them with you to use in your family meals.
