Beautiful Bunting How-To
Marian’s Mini Crescent Rolls (Kifli)
After a trip to Hungary, my dad was raving about these mini filled crescent rolls (kifli). They are super quick to make and can be filled with ham, cheese, bacon, jam or anything else your heart desires!
Ingredients:
700 g flour
½ liter milk
2 tsps yeast (dissolved in 4 tbsps of luke warm water)
3 tsps sugar
2 tsps salt
1-2 tbsps of softened butter
Method:
- Let the yeast rise for about 10-15 minutes in the warm water and a pinch of sugar (until foamy).
- Create a well in the flour and pour the rest of the ingredients in the well.
- Mix and kneed into a soft ball
- Separate into 6 smaller balls of dough, let rise for 20 mins
- After 20 minutes, stretch each ball to about 1/8th of an inch thickness and cut into 8 triangles
- Fill about 1-2tsps of filling of choice and roll into a crescent.
- Bake crescents at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until they look done (you can put an egg wash on them to make the tops shiny)
Thats it!! I filled mine with 3 different fillings:
- Ham and cheddar (my personal favourite!!)
- Sundried tomato and olive tapenade
- Quince jelly and Jarlsberg Cheese
Happy Kifli making!!!

This is an article that details how to make your own dress form using molds that you take from your own body. This is one of the better ones that I’ve seen. Many others aren’t as durable or accurate. Mannequins are so great to have for several reasons. In the past I have used mine to display my scarfs and act as decor. Sadly my mannequins are living in my parent’s basement for their own safety (my husband said that he would probably shoot them if he woke up in the middle of the night). So I will have to wait until I have my own office/craft room. To read the complete How-To, click here.
