My family loves these rolls so much they request them for every Sunday dinner. Pulling their share of these slightly sweet, tender rolls from out of the basket, my grandchildren look at me and say, "Grandma, you are the world's best cook." -Bertha Johnson, Indianapolis, Indiana

Golden Crescents Recipe
  • Prep: 25 min. + rising Bake: 10 min.
  • Yield: 24 Servings
25 10 35

Ingredients

  • 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter, softened, divided
  • 2 tablespoons shortening
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 to 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • Melted butter, optional

Directions

  • In a bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add sugar, 1/4 cup butter, shortening, eggs, salt and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Add enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours. Punch the dough down; divide in half. Roll each portion into a 12-in. circle. Melt remaining butter; brush over dough. Cut each circle into 12 wedges. Roll up wedges from the wide end and curve to form crescents. Place with point down 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until golden. Brush with butter if desired. Yield: 2 dozen.
