I mixed the ingredients in my bread machine, however, I used Crisco for the shortening and it did NOT mix in with the dough..next time I will try melting it first. These rolls rose very nicely, however, they taste like they need more salt. I baked them at 350 in my convection oven for 12 minutes and they turned out perfectly. I will make them again and update this review using the melted shortening.

I like that the dough is a bit heavier. It is still flaky and very good. I served them with honey butter and raspberry jam. Excellent recipe!

These are super! I wrap them around hot dogs and bake them in the oven, and they work SO well for that. They're good plain too!

I am looking for a good recipe for some kind of homemade roll to make for Thanksgiving this year and I think this may be it. I made half a batch for my husband and I today to try them out. They turned out quite good, although next time I think I will make the following modifications: A bit less flour since they are quite dense and a bit less sugar since they turned out sweeter than what I was expecting. I may also layer the dough with butter as I roll it out, to try and make it slightly more flakey. I baked these for 12 minutes at 350 degrees and they turned out perfectly golden brown. I think 400 would be too hot. EDIT: I had to reduce my rating of these from 4 stars down to 3, as after they cooled for a few hours, they became like bricks and took on a very yeasty flavor. My husband still loves them, though. They are good right out of the oven and would probably be okay if you re-heat them in a warm oven or in the microwave. Not very good cold, though.

I followed the recipe exactly. I'm not sure why, but my dough never raised. I make homemade breads all the time and do not have this problem, but this dough was rather dense. It did not raise in the bowl (1 1/2 hours), in crescent form (1 hour) and hardly raised in the oven as well. The taste was good.

These were a great change from regular buns. Made dough in KA, next time I will add flour slowly, could get by with 1/2 cup less.

I was tired of spending money on grocery store crescent rolls so I went looking for a recipe to make at home. This was the first and last recipe I will try. They were easy and turned out so yummy! I love the slight sweetness the sugar adds. Like some other reviewers, it took an hour longer for my dough to rise.

I made these since I was out of potatoes and could not make my favorite - Colleen's Potato Crescent Rolls - from this site. I still prefer the potato crescents, but these are pretty good. I will keep them in my recipe book for those days when I don't have potatoes on hand. I reduced the oven temperature to 325 so they would not burn and let the crescents rise an extra hour.

I wanted a dough for pigs in a blanket that didn't come from a can and I was very impressed with this! I used half butter, half shortening and put the dough in the oven to rise with the light on. It wasn't really rising so I turned the oven on to it's lowest temp and the dough puffed right up. Then I braided the dough around some of the dogs. I also rolled out long thick strands of dough and wrapped them around some dogs too. Let them rise in the warm oven again. Brushed them with an egg wash and presto! They baked up beautifully! Thanks for the recipe.

Crescents, NOT Croissants!! Don't be confused. They are nothing like Croissants. These were very good with a touch of sweetness. Served with jam and cheese (sweet and savory) Both delicious!

The texture was nice but lacking in flavor. I followed the recipe exactly. Next time I make these I will add half butter and half shortning to the dough, to achieve the buttery flavor.

These are OUT OF THIS WORLD! My husband thought for SURE they were the brand name crescent rolls you pop out of a can! For the reviewer that said they don't taste anything like croissants, that's because there is a difference between croissants and crescent rolls. This is not a recipe for croissants. Enjoy! Dough will not appear to have risen at all during each rising but they turn out perfectly!

Mine just did not rise like they should have. They tasted more like a roll than a crescent roll.
