Recipe for Pillsbury crescent rolls?

[disneydreamersx4]

Just saw a commercial for the hotdogs wrapped in the crescent dough YUM!
Would love to make the dough so it's more budget friendly. Anyone have this recipe? tia

Are these really expensive where you are? With a sale and coupon here they come out to well under $1.

I don't know a recipe, but it seems the time wouldn't be worth it after you considered ingredient cost.

Agree with previous poster. They aren't that expensive here either. I have made croissants once and swore I'd never do it again. Its a fussy dough that needs the butter to be cold and in chucks to create the texture, so it can't be overworked, which is easy to do. I love to make breads, but croissants are better off bought in my household, especially for something rustic and meant to be easy like hot dogs wrapped in the dough.

Check out the Pillsbury web site they have lots of great recipes for the crescent rolls. Here is one of my favorites.
Tree-Shaped Crescent Veggie Appetizers

Ingredients

* 2 (8 ounce) cans Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
* 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
* 1/2 cup sour cream
* 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
* 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
* 3 cups finely chopped assorted vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrot, cucumber and/or green onions)


Directions

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Remove dough from cans in rolled sections (2 sections from each can); do not unroll. Cut each section into 8 slices (16 slices from each can).
2. Place slices, cut side down, on ungreased cookie sheets to form trees. To form each tree, start by placing 1 slice for top; arrange 2 slices just below, with sides touching. Continue arranging row of 3 slices, then row of 4 slices, ending with row of 5 slices. Use remaining slice for trunk. Refrigerate one tree.
3. Bake one tree at 375 degrees F. for 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 1 minute; carefully loosen with pancake turner and slide onto wire rack to cool. Bake and cool second tree.
4. Place each tree on serving platter. In small bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, dill and garlic powder; blend until smooth. Spread mixture over both trees. Decorate trees with assorted vegetable pieces. Garnish as desired. Refrigerate until serving time. To serve, pull apart slices of tree.

I found that one on allrecipes.com

My mom used to make them for us and where I'm from (ohio) people called them Pigs in a blanket. Does anyone else? My kids now call them that too!

I live in delaware and here they range from $2.50 to over $3!

I'm originally from the NW and "Pigs in a blanket" are link breakfast sausages wrapped in pancakes... Hot dogs wrapped in dough (whatever kind) we would call "wiener wraps". Isn't it funny how the same things are called different depending on where you live.

I found a 6 pack at costco for $6.69, my husband couldn't pass them up, he loves them.

I also agree that they'd probably cost more to make from scratch then buying them premade. The butter they would need alone would be very expensive.

Trust me, it won't be more budget friendly to make them (loads of butter!). And it's complicated! You make the dough part ahead of time then let it chill for 8 hours then roll it out, layer down the butter and cover with more dough then roll and fold, roll and fold over and over again, then you cut them into these long diamond shapes and roll them into a crescent roll. I haven't done it because it looks like too much of a pain but I can tell you after that after that amount of work there is no way I would wrap it around a hot dog!

 

[Hannathy]

If you don't catch them on sale and even not on sale I don't think they are too bad BUT Aldi's has their own and they aren't too bad.
so if you have an Aldi's you can save a bit there.

UGH that commercial!!! I saw it the other day and started craving those things. I happened to have hot dogs and crescent dough on hand but, I held out for two days. I broke down one night, made them and ate 3 of them!!!!!

I don't know what they did with that commercial but, it sure worked on me.

LOL - poor kids and the "Mummy Foie Gras".

 

[pearlieq]

I agree with the other posters. Croissant dough is a pain in the patoot!

It's complicated, expensive, and prone to failure. If you were talking about canned biscuits, I would totally applaud your initiative, but crescent dough is just one of those things that just much easier to buy pre-made.

 

[arminnie]

I prefer the kind made with biscuits - canned biscuits are dirt cheap.

OH no, I better think about making them

edit-- flakier, not flashier! Darn swype!


I make homemade croissants several times a year. Regular croissants seem to be much flashier than crescent rolls and taste different too.

OP, I use this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Blue-Ribbon-Overnight-Rolls/Detail.aspx

Croissants are a pain in the butt (I've done them - including the roll them out ten times and let them rise - all day deal) - but Pillsbury cresent rolls aren't croissants. And crescent rolls aren't hard or ex*****ve - not that much butter at all. They are a yeast dough, so they take time. And yeast itself is expensive if you don't bake often enough to buy in bulk.

Search up crescent roll recipe.

Just use a generic brand. We used the generic refrigerator biscuits and stretched them out and wrapped the hotdogs (slit them and stuffed with cheese too.) It worked just fine. Generic refrigerator biscuits are super cheap!
