 Posted: Sat Apr 26, 2008 8:00 am Post subject: Crescent Rolls |
 |
|
Originally from the website of Better Batter GF Flour, and then modified by the people over at Delphi.
Crescent Rolls
1/2 stick butter ( 1/4c) room temp.
3/4 c. small curd cottage cheese
1 c. gluten-free flour mix - see note
1 tsp. xanthan gum
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 TBSP sugar
In mixer bowl combine butter & cottage cheese until well blended. Add dry ingredients. Mix until a ball forms. Wrap in plastic wrap & chill for several hours.
On a lightly floured parchment paper, roll dough into a 14 inch circle. Cut into 8 triangles ( make sure to roll thin), Pizza cutter works well for cutting...
Roll each triangle from wide end to tip. Turn ends to make a crescent shape. Bake 350 for approx 20 to 30 min.
NOTES
Brown Rice Flour Mix
2 parts brown rice flour / 2/3 part potato starch / 1/3 part tapioca flour
If you whip the buter and cottage cheese for a while, you won't end up with cheese lumps. It's well worth the extra few minutes.
I roll my circle out on my silicone baking sheet that has been lightly floured. Then I flip the sheet over and peel it off before cutting. It works like a charm.
These bake for 25 minutes in my oven.

I think they are delicious. Not quite as flaky as the gluten ones, but really good. My kids absolutely devour them.

I've made these in my food processor using the metal blade. The dough forms a ball really quickly, and no lumps.
They are really good. Like Colleen said, not quite as flaky. They also held well for a couple of days. I want to play around with the recipe to see if I can make a couple of things I used to make pre-GF with crescent rolls.

I'm making these for the second time today, and I had a question and a comment.
First of all, I haven't made anything that required flour since I've changed my diet except for using pre-made pancake mixes, so I was shocked to see the prices of flour. I noticed the Bob's Red Mill all-purpose gluten-free flour was similar to the mix needed for these, so I cheated and used that and they turned out great. My boyfriends mom said she thought they tasted like regular crescent rolls (I don't remember what they taste like).
My question is does anyone have any tips for rolling these out to the 14 inch circle you need? It took longer, but I rolled it out to about a 9 inch circle and it kept sticking to the parchment paper, so I went ahead and cut it and then rolled each individual one out with the rolling pin before rolling them up. The only thing I have experience with using a rolling pin on is Lefse (Al might know what that is, and speaking of that I'll have to post to see if anyone has a gf version of it), so I might be unaware of some very obvious ways to roll things out with a rolling pin. |

I made these several months ago and I'm sure I rolled them one of two ways.
1.) If the dough was sticky even after a good long chill then I'm sure I placed it on a piece of flour dusted plastic wrap, placed the dough on it, sprinkled a bit more flour and another sheet of plastic wrap. Then rolled it.
2.) If the dough wasn't sticky then I'm sure I rolled it out on a floured silpat.
I think the BRM mix includes bean flour. Be wary of tasting raw dough as the uncooked bean flour has a vile, metallic taste. |

Okay - I totally didn't have 1/2 the stuff I needed to make this but I subbed and got a nice dough!  Used fake butter and soy sour cream instead of cottage cheese. I had to make a 1/2 recipe too because I only had that much "sour cream" left. I also used Wendy Warks flour because it seemed "close". I'm getting so lazy in my old age! The dough looks good and is in the oven baking right now. One plain roll, one with sugar and cinnamon inside, one with blueberry jam and then I had an odd shape left over so I made an apple pop-over (Apple sauce with cinnamon and sugar). . I'm *really* excited about the last one and really hope it turns out because I used to love them and haven't had one in ages! We'll see!

Can't wait to hear your results, Jenn!
I made a double batch of these for my family's Thanksgiving yesterday. There were 15 people, and only my son and I need to be GF. These little babies were the hit of the day, and several people remarked that they were even better than the gluten rolls that were there.
Ouch...ouch...ouch...my arm hurts from patting myself on the back!

I dunno - but the evidence of having ever made them is nearly gone!
So far the cinnamon version was the best... 
Sophie voted for the blueberry one.
Now we're off to eat the pop-over!

I think the word you're looking for is turnover. Whatever you want to call it, it does look good! |
