Homemade Crescents

This recipe is from my Aunt Pam. She makes these every Thanksgiving and everyone eats them up. You would think she spends all day preparing the dough, but it's very simple.

Aunt Pam's Homemade Crescents

1 pkg yeast
1 cup very warm water
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs, beaten well
2/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 tsp salt
4 1/2 cups flour

  • Dissolve yeast in 1 cup of very warm water
  • Add sugar and all other ingredients at once
  • Mix well
  • Place in a greased bowl overnight in the refrigerator
  • Separate dough into 3 sections
  • Roll out on a floured board 1/4 inch thick. Cut 6-8 pizza slices
  • Roll large end to small end and curve into the shape of a crescent
  • Place on greased baking sheet. (Each crescent can touch)
  • Let rise for hours
  • Bake @ 400 degrees fro 8-10 minutes
Happy Cooking!
