These are really Yummy and Fast rolls BUT if you want something a bit Yummier and Fancier Use this Crescent roll Recipe! It really is to Die for! (Next time I make them I'll add pics)

Butter Crescents

yield: (12-16 medium crescent rolls)

½ cup milk

1 stick butter, softened

1/3 cup sugar

½ tsp. salt

1 package active dry yeast or 2 ½ tsp. yeast

½ cup warm water

1 large egg, lightly beaten

3 ½ -4 cups flour

*The trick to this recipe is to be very gentle while kneading and handling dough, and to mix dough at very low speeds.

1. In saucepan, heat milk until bubbles appear around edges of pan. Combine butter, sugar, and salt. Add hot milk, and stir well. Cool to lukewarm.
2. In a small bowl dissolve yeast in warm water. Add a bit of sugar as well. Let stand until foamy, 5-10 minutes.
3. Beat yeast mixture and egg into milk mixture at low speed. Beat in 2 cups of flour at low speed until smooth. Continue beating until thick. Mix in enough remaining flour until dough pulls away from sides of bowl.
4. On a floured surface, knead dough very gently until smooth and elastic, 2-3 minutes. Place in a large, greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover loosely with a damp cloth; let rise in a warm place until doubled; about 1 hour.
5. Punch down dough. On a floured surface, divide dough in half. Cover with a damp cloth; let rest for 10 minutes.
6. Grease 2 baking sheets. Using a floured rolling pin, roll 1 dough half into a 12 inch circle. Cut circle into 6 wedges. Starting at side opposite point, roll up each wedge. Place on a prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
7. Cover loosely with a damp cloth; let rise in warm place until doubled; about ½ hour.
8. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake until golden brown, or about 15 minutes.
