Butter Roll Dessert Recipe With Crescent Rolls (2024)

FAQs

What is butter roll made of? ›

The ooey-gooey dessert is made up of tender, flaky biscuit dough filled with butter, sprinkled with sugar and nutmeg or cinnamon, rolled into pinwheels, and baked in a rich, creamy sweetened milk sauce. The result is super tender, moist rolls that look like a cinnamon roll, but taste entirely different.

The roll is a round, flat, white-bread kaiser roll, untoasted, sliced almost in half, slathered with butter (more likely a spreadable butter-margarine combo), and wrapped in waxed paper. A “regular coffee” in New York City means a ten-ounce coffee with milk and two sugars.

Place rolls on ungreased cookie sheets; curve into crescent shape. Brush each roll lightly with beaten egg. Bake at 375°F. for 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown.

Amish-style butter is churned cream with a higher dairy fat content than American butter. Instead of being shaped into four-ounce sticks, it typically comes in a one- or two-pound rolled log or wheel, shaped like goat cheese or wax-coated Gouda. You'll find it in both salted and unsalted varieties.

These butter rolls definitely taste the best hot out of the oven. But if you do have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. The roll might get soggy sitting in the sauce, so I'd recommend reheating in the oven to crisp it up once more.

Hero (plural usually heros, not heroes) remains the prevailing New York City term for most sandwiches on an oblong roll with a generally Italian flavor, in addition to the original described above. Pizzeria menus often include eggplant parmigiana, chicken parmigiana, and meatball heros, each served with sauce.

When the sun rises and early morning commuters awaken in New York City, so do the city's breakfast carts, delis, and bodegas.

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.

Lucky for you, easy-bake crescents stand in for traditional puff pastry. It's a classic dessert with convenience!

Are crescent rolls just puff pastry? ›

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.

Although it may be assumed that butter is not good for one's health, buttered bread can be good for you when incorporated into a balanced diet. Butter is rich in calcium and has been shown to have certain health benefits, including lower risks of cancer and helping people lose or maintain weight.

Amish butter is not healthier than stick butter. In fact, the two types of butter don't differ much nutritionally. Both Amish butter and regular U.S. butter are added fat, and because of this, they are high in saturated fat.

Ingredients in each type of butter? The same: pasteurized cream and salt. The kids and I do a taste-test. The Amish Country Roll Butter is overly salty — unmistakeable to all of us.
