what do they mean?

I'm thinking maybe puff pastry? Am I even on the right track?

Thanks in advance,

Youthworker's Wife

They mean croissant dough! They call those cresecent rolls over there. You can buy tins of it in Asda with the other pastry stuff.

Okay - have done a quick search on Tesco and can't find anything that looks similar! So is it tinned dough? Does it have a specific name?

Sorry to be a pain - I am just confused. I never thought that croissants came in tins ...

I've seen it in Tesco. It is sort of a cardboard can with metal top and bottom and you twist it open. It is in the fridge with chilled pastry etc.

I'm intrigued to know what recipe you are making.

One of the first words to learn in the 'Tricolore'(?) french book was Croissant = crescent shaped roll how weird I rememebr that after 30 years

Thanks for the link ... I now know vaguely what I am looking for! I guess I never considered buying croissants in anything other than the ready-made form so I never knew that croissant-dough existed. Then the "crescent roll" thing just confused me. Don't the Americans just call them croissants too?

Oh, I've been given a recipe for some sort of tomato/cheese pinwheel thingy which says 'crescent roll dough', hence the confusion.

nomemade-recipes.blogspot.com.tr/2013/01/best-rolls-ever.html?m=1 this is a recipe for crescent rolls

Pillsbury croissant dough in the fridges at the supermarket.

iklboo · 14/01/2017 21:37

Americans call them cross-ants.

ok, so this thread is old but I want to correct the given answers. I am American and have used crescent rolls many a time. they are made by Pillsbury and come in a tube container in the refrigerated section. you pop the tube open, unroll the dough and roll up into crescent shaped rolls and bake.

TheSpottedZebra · 13/05/2020 18:58

Er, no need pillow - someone gave OP the answer NEARLY 8 YEARS AGO!

NB we don't have Pillsbury products in the UK.

Wallywobbles · 13/05/2020 22:34

UK certainly used to. I remember the Pillsbury dough boy.

violetbunny · 14/05/2020 10:29

@TheSpottedZebra Actually you sort of do. Pillsbury and Jus-Rol are both owned by General Mills. They share R&D across brands in different countries.

Blimey, pwillow PMed me to tick me off.
They must REALLY LOVE Americanised baked goods Confused.
