Crab Salad & Crab Rolls & Crescent Rolls

Crab Rolls   (Kim Davidson)
2 recipe of Crescent Rolls (or 5 tubes of Pillsbury crescent rolls)
1 recipe of Crab Salad

Place one tablespoon of salad near wide end of roll dough triangle.  Fold over two side points to meet in center (like diapering a baby).  Bring long point up and over, wrapping around as necessary.  Pinch dough together to seal holes (no leaking at the leg holes).  Place on greased cookie sheet, and bake for 15-20 minutes at either 375 or 400 F (depending on roll instructions).
    Serves 8 main course, or 40 appetizers.

Crab Salad   (Kim Davidson)
1 pound (2-3 cups) crab or imitation crab, chopped
½ cup celery, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 cup grated cheese
1 cup mayonnaise
½ tsp onion salt (or salt)

Mix ingredients together.  Adjust mayo quantity such that all is creamy and well coated, but not excessive.  Chill.  Serve alone with crackers and fresh fruit for luncheon or use as a filling for crescent rolls.   Serves 4 as a salad.

Crescent Rolls (Kim Davidson)
1 pkg yeast (2 ½ tesapoons)        ½ teaspoon salt
5 Tablespoons butter            2 cups flour
2/3 cup warm water            1 egg

Mix all together in typical bread fashion.  Let rise.  Roll into large rectangle 1/4 inch thick.  Cut into smaller rectangles, then triangles.  For rolls, roll from wide edge of triangle down to tip.  Shape as crescent.  Bake on greased baking sheet at 400 F for 15-20 minutes.  Double the recipe!  So popular you can’t have too much!  Great filled with salads, cheese, meats, sauces, etc.
