Buttery Crescent Rolls

We were invited to dinner on Sunday and were asked to bring bread. I had to squeeze in one more recipe from my Christmas cookbook before we moved so it was a good excuse. These are fake crescent rolls. It's a basic roll recipe that you roll out, cut wedges and roll into crescents. The part that was supposed to be special and make it more like flakey crescent rolls was shredding 1 cup of cold butter on the dough before rolling. Yes, one whole cup of butter. It got messy, both shredding (getting all over the counter) and cooking (melted butter pooling in the pan and basically frying the bottom of the rolls). They were very tasty rolls and extremely buttery, but next time I'll probably just spread soft butter instead of shredding cold butter. It will be less messy and taste the same.
