Crescent Roll Biscuits

Crescent Roll Biscuits

4 cups all-purpose (plain) flour

8 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup cold butter or hard margarine, cut into cubes

2 cups milk

2 egg yolks

1 Tablespoon milk

Stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until crumbly. Stir in the milk to form a soft dough and knead briefly until it just comes together. Divide dough into four pieces.

Roll each piece into a thin circle on a lightly floured surface. Cut each circle into eight triangles.

Starting from the wide edge, roll each triangle toward its point. Arrange crescents on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.

Beat together the egg yolks and milk and brush over the tops of the crescents. Bake at 425◦F for about 20 minutes until golden.
