Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups water

• 1 pound margarine
• 8 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets. Whisk together 2 cups sugar and the cinnamon, reserve.

Step 2

Beat together 1 cup sugar, margarine, eggs, milk, flour, and baking powder in a large bowl to form a dough. Divide dough into 10 balls. Spread the prepared cinnamon and sugar mixture onto work surface. Use a rolling pin to roll each dough ball out on the cinnamon sugar, forming each into a 14 inch circle. Cut each circle into 8 wedges. Roll each wedge into a crescent, starting at the wide side and rolling toward the tip. Place rolls on prepared baking sheets.

Step 3

Bake crescents in preheated oven until set and lightly browned, about 20 minutes.

Step 4

While crescents are baking, mix together 2 cups sugar, vanilla, 2 cups water, and the cornstarch in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and cook until thick. Brush glaze on baked crescent rolls. Allow glaze to set for 5 minutes. Drizzle melted chocolate over glazed crescents. If desired, serve warm.
