Lunch: Christmas Morning Croissants Recipe

Ingredients

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110 ° to 115 °)
1-1/4 cups cold butter, divided
5 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 cup evaporated milk
2 eggs
1 tablespoon water

Instructions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water; let stand for 5 minutes. Melt 1/4 cup butter; set aside. Combine 1 cup flour, sugar and salt; add to yeast mixture. Add the milk, 1 egg and melted butter; beat until smooth.
Place remaining flour in a large bowl; cut in remaining butter until crumbly. Add yeast mixture; mix well. Do not knead. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead about six times. Divide dough into four pieces. Roll each piece into a 16-in. circle; cut each circle into eight wedges.
Roll up wedges from the wide ends and place point side down 3 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Curve ends to form crescents. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
Beat water and remaining egg; brush over rolls. Bake at 325 ° for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm.
