Recipes

Well sorry no pictures this time, but I do have some great recipes to post. I made a stew in my crock pot yesterday that was to die for good. And all I did to it was add some cut up apples. Delicious!! But the icing on the cake was the crescent recipe from my sister. So I will include the original recipe and her ammended one. I also have been given the best cornbread recipe I have ever had (If anyone else has a good cornbread recipe, I am HAPPY to have it). So here you go! Have a great day!

Crescents (original)

1/2 c warm water
1/2 c warm milk
1/2 c softened butter

3/4 tsp salt
4-4 1/2 c flour
Dissolve yeast in water. Add remaining ingredients plus 2 c of the flour. Mix. Gradually mix in remaining flour and knead until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise until double in size. Punch down, divide into 4 balls. Roll out into 8 inch circles and brush with softened butter. Cut into 8 wedges and roll up, beginning with wide end. Cover and let rise a second time, about 30 mins. Bake at 375 F for 12-14 mins.
