- 3 to 3½ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup corn starch
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 envelope Fleischmann’s RapidRise Yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- ¼ cup butter or margarine
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup butter or margarine (very cold)
Egg Glaze
- 1 egg, beaten with
- 1 teaspoon water
- Combine 1 cup flour, corn starch, sugar, undissolved yeast, and salt in a large mixer bowl with beater attachment in place. Heat milk and butter until very warm (120°F to 130°F). Add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of an electric mixture, scraping bowl occasionally. Add egg and 1 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Switch to dough hook attachment. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Continue mixing on low speed for 6 to 8 minutes or hand knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
- On lightly floured surface, roll dough to 16-inch-by-12-inch rectangle. Using a cheese grater shred one-third (5 Tbsp) of cold butter on center third of dough; fold ends over butter pressing edges to seal butter in. Turn dough one quarter turn. Repeat rolling, arranging butter, folding and turning procedure twice more. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate for 2 hours. (Dough may be held in refrigerator overnight or frozen.)
- Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface roll each half to a 16-inch circle. Cut each into 8 pie-shaped wedges. Roll up each wedge, beginning at wide end. Place, points down, on 2 lightly greased baking sheets. Curve ends to form crescents. Brush with Egg Glaze.
- Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Bake at 425° F for 12 to 15 minutes or until deep golden brown on top. Remove from sheets with a spatula; serve warm.
Yield: 16 Rolls
