Homemade Golden Crescents: It smells like the holidays in my kitchen, it smells like yeast rolls! Whenever I smell these rolls baking it, always reminds of the holidays.

Why? Because this is my mother’s homemade rolls recipe. She has been making these rolls for as long as I can remember for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Everyone in my family LOVES these rolls. And you will too!

These rolls are light, buttery, and tender. What’s great about these rolls is that they are no knead. Once you mix the flour mixture, you are done to let the dough rise. Once risen, you divide the dough in half and roll out each half into a circle. Then you cut into 16 pieces to make the crescents.

This is also the part where you add melted butter on top of the dough before you cut them into triangles. You can save some calories on this step by adding less butter. Or you can add more .

Once rolled, you can use whatever greased pan you like. I used a half-sized baking sheet. Once they rise, they are good to go in the oven.
Simply delicious!
