Crescent Twists - for Erin - cjs - 12-01-2007 or anyone with little ones. Roy brought home the wrong cans of rolls for Monkey bread for my mini-thanksgiving, so they have been sitting in the fridge since. Yesterday I was browsing thru some old books and came across these little goodies from the Pillsbury Bake Off - 1970 - made them up out of one of the cans and they were very tasty. Thought of you, Erin, they would be fun to make with the kids. Crescent Twists 2 T. sugar 1 tsp. nutmeg 2 cans (8-oz. each) Pillsbury Quick Crescent Dinner Rolls 1/4 cup butter 8 T. any flavor fruit preserves Chopped nuts or sliced almonds opt. Glaze: 1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar 1 T milk 1/2 tsp. lemon zest 1/2 tsp. vanilla Oven 375 F. makes 8 large rolls Grease bottom and sides of 13X9” baking pan. Combine sugar & nutmeg; set aside. Separate crescent dough from each can into 4 rectangles. Overlap edges; firmly press perforations to seal (to prevent separation during baking.) Roll or pat out to form 2 rectangles about 15X8”. Brush dough with melted butter & sprinkle with sugar mixture. With a sharp knife or pastry cutter, cut eight 15X1” strips from each rectangle. Place sugared sides of 2 strips together; twist and form into a coil in prepared baking pan. Spread 1 T. preserves over each roll. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes till golden brown and center is not longer doughy. Remove from pan while warm. Drizzle with glaze; if desire, sprinkle with nuts. Serve warm or cool. Glaze: In small bowl, combine all ingred.; blend till smooth. To make ahead: prepare, ocver and refrigerate up to 2 hours before baking. Bake as directed. Rolls may be prepared as directed in 8 or 9” square pan using half the recipe. ----- I used Blackberry jam and we both really liked them and I'm having one with my coffee right now!! Re: Crescent Twists - for Erin - Mare749 - 12-01-2007 Thanks Jean, I know a big kid who will gobble these up. Maryann Re: Crescent Twists - for Erin - Lorraine - 12-01-2007 " Thanks Jean, I know a big kid who will gobble these up " Me too. I think the bed will be full of crumbs. Re: Crescent Twists - for Erin - esgunn - 12-01-2007 Thanks Jean - Can't wait to try them...Oh Yea, I am sure the KIDS can't wait to try them! Re: Crescent Twists - for Erin - pjcooks - 12-02-2007 My kids will like these, too, Jean, thanks. I think I have my Mom's issue of that bakeoff, I like to revisit those little cookbooks. PJ Re: Crescent Twists - for Erin - cjs - 12-02-2007 Aren't they fun to go thru? If you do have this one, there are two more I want to try - 'Saucy Taco Bread' & 'BBQ Bean Bread' <-- there's actually a can of barbecue beans in this one! (there is a pix and it looks legit) Re: Crescent Twists - for Erin - farnfam - 12-02-2007 OOo OOo, Taco Bread sounds good, if you get in a posting mood. Please, tia Cis Re: Crescent Twists - for Erin - bjcotton - 12-02-2007 I don't see a recipe here for the Taco Bread Jean . I make the Monkey Bread recipe you gave me quite often. Re: Crescent Twists - for Erin - cjs - 12-03-2007 I'll post and/or make them, see what they're like...maybe do both. Re: Crescent Twists - for Erin - Mare749 - 12-04-2007 I hope you do and please let us know how you like them. Some of those recipes are really good and usually pretty quick to make. I used to make one called Pizza Bubbles. Very easy to make. Just take a can of biscuits, cut them into quarters, roll in pizza sauce, and place in a greased, round cake pan. Top with mozzarella and bake until golden brown. The kids loved these. (big kids too!) Maryann
