How to become the favorite dinner guest: Buttered Crescent Rolls

I was asked to bring rolls to thanksgiving this year. No pressure right? Rolls may or may not be the most important part of the meal (or is that just for a bread lover like me?). Either way, they were a hit! Mission accomplished. Now, thanksgiving is over, but this recipe can still make you the most sought after dinner guest in town. Don’t be intimidated by the number of steps, I just wanted to be thorough; they’re easy and delicious.

Buttered Crescent Rolls:
yield: 2 dozen

3/4 C milk
1/2 C sugar
1/2 egg
1/2 Tbsp salt
1 Tbsp (1 package) yeast
1 C warm water
5  1/2 C all purpose flour
1 C butter

1. Scald milk, most of sugar (save 1 – 2 Tbsp), and 1/4 C of butter in microwave (approx 1:30). If chunks of butter are left break apart with fork and they will melt. 
2. Add 1/2 egg and salt to milk mixture.
3. Set aside and let cool till finger can be placed in mixture comfortably. 
4. While milk mixture is cooling, combine yeast, the rest of sugar, and 1 C of warm water. Let sit for 7 minutes or until bubbly. 
5. Combine yeast and milk mixture in mixing bowl (better when mixed by hand than kitchen aid).
6. Use fork to add the flour. Dough should be sticky but pull away from sides of bowl.
7. Cover and let rise until double (3 hours).
8. Separate dough into two parts.
9. Role one part out into a rectangle on a floured surface and spread melted butter over it (approx 1-2 Tbsp) Use a pizza cutter (or knife) to cut into quarters. Cut these quarters into three triangles each (making two cuts from the corner of the quarter).
10. Roll each piece into a crescent and place on greased cookie sheet.
11. Repeat with other section.
12. Let rolls rise for half an hour (approximately)
13. Bake at 350 for fifteen minutes or until the tops begin to golden.
14. Brush with butter once removed from the oven.
15. ENJOY! (and become the most sought after dinner guest in the area)
