Notes

You can definitely make them dairy free! Just be sure to use full-fat canned coconut milk in place of the regular milk. The high fat content in it makes them turn out great. Also, you will need to use dairy-free butter sticks that have been frozen when grating onto the dough. Earth Balance has some that I've heard work very well.

These rolls are fantastic right out of the oven nice and warm, but they are also good at room temperature the next day. Once they have cooled, you can store them in an airtight container. They are good for up to 5 days at room temperature but are best within the first 3 days.

You can also make a double batch and freeze them. You can also make the crescent rolls up until the point where you are going to let them rise the second time and instead, place them on a baking sheet and flash freeze for 1 hour then place in a freezer bag. When you are ready to cook them, just pull them out of the freezer and place them in the oven on bread proof or 100 degrees for an hour to an hour and 15 minutes to rise. Then bake them as directed.
