A hint of cardamom adds nice flavor to these tender golden rolls. They're my grandchildren's favorites, so I make the crescents all year long.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)

These were easy to make and very tasty. I used a combination of pistachios and walnuts for the filling. I also added a little bit of orange zest to the dough. Delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my crescents didn't turn out as good as the ones in the pictures. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

Not bad, but not great either. The dough was a bit dry and the filling was a bit bland.

These cardamom crescents were a delight! The dough was easy to work with and the filling was flavorful and aromatic. I loved the crescent shape, which made them perfect for dunking in tea or coffee.
