What are You Baking? March 2024

Angel Biscuit Crescents - recipe from a B&B hostess we stayed with in WI many years ago. I’m not finding a version of Angel Biscuits online with exact same proportions, so will post the recipe below. But if you have an Angel Biscuit recipe you already like, you could try this technique with it.

After gently kneading the dough a few times, form a ball with half of it and use a floured rolling pin on a floured surfact to roll the ball out to a 12-inch circle. Cut into 12 triangles and roll-up each from outer edge to point to make crescents. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Repeat for other half of dough. Let rest/rise 15 minutes or so, while your oven preheats to 350 (original recipe called for 400 but risks burning if you fail to swap pan racks mid-bake). Bake for 15-18 minutes at 350 F. (12-15 Min at 400 degrees F) Swap pans in oven - top rack/bottom rack - halfway thru baking for even browning.

Drizzles of a simple glaze (Powder sugar/vanilla/butter/water) on the baked crescents turn these into “breakfast pastry”. I usually leave a dozen plain for “dinner rolls”.
