Butter Roll Dessert Recipe With Crescent Rolls (2024)

FAQs

How long are Pillsbury Crescent rolls good after the expiration date? ›

In contrast, store-bought crescent rolls, such as Pillsbury Crescents, can last unopened up to 2 weeks past their expiration date in the pantry and, if refrigerated, 1 week after opening. The preservatives in these rolls help maintain freshness over a longer period when stored properly.

Let rise in warm place (80° to 85°F.) 30 minutes or until doubled in size.

Crescent rolls have a similar crescent-moon shape as croissants, but most aspects of these baked goods are different. Unlike croissants, crescent rolls are not laminated. This makes crescent rolls more bread-like than croissants.

Entire product must be baked once opened. Do not eat raw crescent roll dough. Keep dough refrigerated.

After the expiration date has passed, Pillsbury dough can still be used within a certain timeframe, typically up to two weeks, if it has been stored properly. This period allows for the consumption of the product beyond the printed date as long as there are no signs of spoilage such as an off odor or visible mold.

The crescent-shaped croissant is a flaky pastry with buttery layers whereas a puff pastry is a drier composition of dough. Both use similar ingredients and preparation work.

To reheat: Wrap in foil, heat at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.

SEPARATE dough into 8 rolls. Do not unroll dough. PLACE 4 rolls in air fryer basket. Refrigerate remaining 4 rolls until ready to cook.

While both puff pastry and croissant doughs are laminated, puff pastry does not include yeast and croissant dough does. The yeast gives the dough an even lighter texture. Croissant doughs also contain more sugar than puff pastry.

Flavor: Butter is the key flavor in crescent rolls. It's what makes them so darn craveable (and it's the reason there's never one left in the bread basket). Canned crescent rolls should have perfect butter flavor with a hint of salt—the right combo for munching solo or using as the foundation for plenty of recipes.

Why are they called crescent rolls? ›

Croissants are named for their historical crescent shape. The dough is layered with butter, rolled and folded several times in succession, then rolled into a thin sheet, in a technique called laminating. The process results in a layered, flaky texture, similar to a puff pastry.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

Crescent Rolls can be shaped and placed on cookie sheets up to 2 hours before baking.

2. They contain trans fat. The downside to using hydrogenated palm oil is that it contains trans fat, which is bad for your cholesterol. It's not so good for your body, which is why you should definitely eat these babies in moderation.

This will relax the gluten and make rolling out the dough easier. Do not fight the dough, when the dough refuses to get any longer, rest it in the fridge!

If the packaging is intact, the biscuits are likely safe to consume, but the sensory quality might not be at its peak post-expiration.

The ideal storage temperature for a croissant to maintain its quality is: At room temperature: lasts about 1-2 days. In the refrigerator: typically lasts up to 5 days. In the freezer: can extend their shelf life to 1-2 months.

While refrigerated pie crusts typically last up to 5 days beyond this date, crusts kept in their original sealed packaging can maintain quality for up to 18 months when stored properly.

Pillsbury cookie dough, and others like it, are different in that they are meant to sit in the fridge for a little longer than your other frozen raw cookie doughs. You can safely get about two weeks of fridge life out of this type of dough, even after the “best by” date.
