I made these a few days ago....since I did not know how 'thin' the dough had to be rolled, I made them slightly thicker than I should have. It therefore took longer to cook. The next time I make them, I'll be wiser and make them really thin! Despite being thick rolls, they tasted good and went well with cheese. Haven't tried it with yogurt, though. -
This tastes very much like a pie crust pastry - NOT at all like crescent rolls! I rolled the crust out all at once, thinly, and filled it with a cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, green onion & red pepper mix. It took nearly 30 minutes to get done - lightly browned. Maybe this recipe is an old-fashioned way of making crescent rolls, but it sure wasn't what I was expecting. -
I'm sorry to say that I've tried this recipe twice and they didn't turn out either time for me. The problem was probably with me and not the recipe. I couldn't seem to get the right amount of milk-it was either too little or too much. I don't consider myself an inexperienced cook, but these must be over my head.=(
