Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sour cream
• ½ cup butter, melted
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
• ½ cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
• ¼ cup chopped fresh chives

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease baking sheets or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat sour cream until very hot. Add salt, sugar, and melted butter. Cool until lukewarm.

Step 3

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Mix in sour cream mixture, eggs, flour, and chives. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.

Step 4

Divide dough into 4 parts; shape each piece into a ball. Cover dough rounds with plastic wrap when not working with them.

Step 5

Roll a ball into a 10-inch circle. Let dough rest while you roll out another circle. Cut first circle into 12 thin pie-shaped pieces. Starting at the wide end, roll up each triangle, ending with the point. Curl the edges in toward the point. Place point-side down on prepared baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough. Allow crescent rolls to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

Step 6

Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
