Classic Sweet Crescent Rolls
Every baker should have a really delicious crescent roll recipe that works every single time. This recipe is just that. The dough is lightly sweet with buttery flavor. The secret to making them absolutely irresistible is brushing them with butter and then giving them an additional sprinkle of salt right before baking. The natural flavor is greatly enhanced. We love serving these with honey or jam and they are certainly a staple at every family feast!
