"Pillsbury Crescent Recipe Creations offers a flaky, no-seamed dough sheet that is convenient and versatile for any creative cook. In just a few minutes, you can enjoy the same great taste of Pillsbury Crescents you love with endless recipes!"
Words cannot really explain how much we love this dough. Maybe someday we'll produce a full-scale Broadway musical to express our gratitude, but until then, this email will have to do.
Why Do We Love It?
It's reduced fat... sort of. This is basically the same exact dough that's perforated and packaged as Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls, even though the package doesn't tout it as such (because the serving sizes differ). How 'bout that?!
It's SEAMLESS! This may not sound like a big deal to anyone who hasn't tried to re-seal the perforations in the old-school, triangle-cut crescent dough, but it is. Trust us. We TOTALLY appreciate this smooth sheet o' dough and all the recipe ease it's afforded us!
The Need to Know...
* Once the can has been opened, the dough's life expectancy starts to diminish. Don't be sad! If you're not going to bake it immediately, just cover it with plastic wrap, refrigerate, and use within two hours.
* Make sure you roll it out on a clean dry surface. Otherwise, you could wind up with errant ingredients from your afternoon snack lodged within your soon-to-be-baked goods. (Um, GROSS.)
* This dough is user-friendly and foolproof, but if it gives you any trouble (e.g., is unusually sticky), just sprinkle your work surface and/or rolling pin with a tiny bit of flour. (Or smack it, just to let it know who's boss.)
BFFs
Muffin Pans - When this dough gets together with a 12-cup muffin tin, fun is SURE to follow. Think of 'em as party planners. Roll out the dough sheet, and cut it into 12 squares. Spritz your pan with nonstick spray, and press a square of dough into each cup. Fill those dough cups with almost anything you like, and bake at 375 degrees until golden brown, about 12 - 15 minutes. (If your filling is raw, make sure it can be fully cooked in that amount of time.) AMAZING. And each delicious doughy cup itself has just 60 calories and 3g fat (PointsPlus® value 2*). Hooray!
FRIENEMY ALERT! The Danish - If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery (which we TRULY believe), then fatty Danishes must feel pretty special. This dough has been featured in recipes for TWO HG Danish swaps: our Crazy-Delicious Cheesy Cherry Danish and our Chocolate-Chippy Cheese Danish.
