Cream Cheese Pound Cake and Bread Machine Crescent Rolls

Here are the recipes from our recent Rejoicing Feast  The pound cake is a favorite of ours...so moist!   I was quite pleased with the crescent rolls...just throw everything in, shape, rise, and bake, but these crescent rolls are still my favorite when I have a more time.  They taste a bit richer.


Cream Cheese Pound Cake

3 sticks of butter, softened
8 ounces cream cheese
3 c. sugar
dash of salt
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla
6 large eggs
3 c. sifted cake flour

Cream butter and cream cheese until fluffy.  Then add next three ingredients.  When mixed add 1 egg at a time.  Stir in flour.  Spoon into greased pan.  Put in cold oven.  Turn to 325 degrees for 1 hr. and 15 minutes.

Butter Crescents for the Bread Machine

1/2 c. milk

4 T. butter, melted

1 egg

1/4 c. sugar

1/4 tsp. salt

2 c. all purpose flour

1 tsp. yeast

Put ingredients in bread machine in order listed and run dough cycle.  When done, divide dough in half, rolling each half into a circle.  Cut wedges from each circle, and roll wedges into crescents.  Put on greased baking sheet, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.  Bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes.

Enjoy!
