Ingredients
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk, for egg wash
- Additional sugar for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). We want it nice and warm for those crescents!
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar together. Make sure it’s well combined so the flavors pop.
- Add the softened butter to the flour mixture. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to blend it until it forms a crumbly texture. You want that buttery goodness throughout!
- Now, stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract. Mix until the dough comes together. It’s okay if it’s a little sticky; that just means it’s gonna be tasty.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Then, cut the dough into triangles.
- Starting at the wide end of each triangle, roll them up to form crescents. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the tops with the egg yolk for that beautiful golden color. If you’re feeling a little extra, sprinkle some sugar on top!
- Pop those bad boys in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until they’re golden brown and smelling like heaven.
- Once they’re done, let them cool for a few minutes on a wire rack. Don’t be too hasty; we don’t want to burn our mouths!
And there you have it, folks! Butter Crescents that’ll make anyone who tries them come back for more. Serve them warm and watch them disappear. Enjoy every bite!
