Crescent Rolls
Friday, December 1st, 2006
You’ve been through recipes that didn’t turn out to be as expected? Either because you tried something that sounds good, but was from a non-reputable source, or the room was cold, you didn’t feel good that day, the stars were not aligned?! Choose your reason. ;) It happens to all of us.
The other day, I had such experience, after trying a recipe from a book I was borrowing from a friend. It was supposed to be dessert like breakfast bars, but we just didn’t like the outcome as much. I thought about a Turkish bakery classic: Crescent Rolls. When I was a kid, my mom warned me about eating them; saying they put all the left overs in it to bake it with. Well, it tasted good, too! Recently, another Turkish blogger posted a recipe for those. Now, it was my turn to try, instead of tossing them out. The resulting rolls were really tasty! Close to what you can get from the bakeries.
As long as the filling you have used is moist, have a lot of cinnamon & cocoa, I think you will get to the same result. But it is one of those fillings that one can never give a reasonable recipe for, because of the nature of these cookies. Check out Betül’s post for the recipe.
