Crescent Twists - for Erin
#11
  Re: (...)
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.

Me too. I think the bed will be full of crumbs.
Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.

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.

I don't see a recipe here for the Taco Bread Jean . I make the Monkey Bread recipe you gave me quite often.
Don't wait too long to tell someone you love them.

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!)
