Wanna make your Thanksgiving meal a little more fun?  Try these rolls!  I made my own crescent rolls and put little notes in them.  The notes had everyone's name on them and said, "I am thankful for ______ because..."  When you open your roll, find the fortune and tell that person why you are thankful for them.  I made a list, printed it, and just wrapped them up when I formed the crescent.  You do this idea with the canned rolls, or here's a recipe I used.  (Next time I do this, I will make the notes a little bigger so they are easier to find, harder to eat.)  This recipe makes 3 dozen rolls.  

Homemade Crescent Rolls

2 pkgs yeast

1/4 cup warm water

1 cup butter 

1 cup milk

3 eggs

4 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp salt

Dissolve 2 packages of yeast in warm water and leave for 5 minutes.  Melt 1 cup butter in 1 cup milk over low heat.,  Cool.  Add 3 eggs to yeast mixture and beat with a fork.  Add cooled butter and milk mixture.  Gradually add 4 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 tsp salt.  Mixture will be sticky.  Place in a greased bowl and cover tightly.  Place in the refrigerator overnight or 9-12 hours.  

Punch down the dough.  Divide in 3 parts.  Roll out the dough like a pie crust (aim for a circle, not a United States) about 1/4 inch thick.  Spread with a generous amount of butter.  Cut into 12 pizza slices.  Put the fortune at the big end and roll it up inside , big end to small end.   Pick up the roll and place it on a greased cookie sheet.  Bend the ends in to make a crescent shape.  Repeat this with the other 2 parts of the dough.  Brush the tops with melted butter.  Bake at 375 degrees until light brown, about 10-15 minutes.  O the yum, o the fun!
