Ingredients:
- 1 Tube Pillsbury Crescent Recipe Creation Crescent Seamless Dough Sheet*
- 1 Egg (whisked with 1 teaspoon of water to make an egg wash)
- Yellow and Red liquid food coloring
- 1 1/2 cups of your favorite egg or ham salad
- 1 bunch of fresh dill or parsley
*If you can’t find this product, you can use sheets of puff pastry, or use crescent rolls and pinch all the seams together.
Special Equipment Needed:
- Pizza Cutter or knife
- Six metal cream horn molds
- Pastry brush
- Non-stick aluminum foil lined baking sheet
Instructions:
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Repeat, brushing egg wash onto each dough strip before rolling each into logs. Create 6 logs.
Wrap one dough log around each cream horn mold, trying to keep the seam side against the metal mold. Repeat. Be sure your dough does not hang over the open end of the cream horn mold, as it will make it difficult to remove once baked.
Line a baking sheet with non-stick aluminum foil or parchment paper. Squeeze about 30 drops of yellow food coloring into a small bowl. Add one or two drops of red. Stir to create orange. Brush the orange food coloring all over each carrot shaped dough. Set carrots on lined baking sheet.
If you don’t want to paint your dough with food coloring, you can simply brush them with egg wash. The carrot will bake up golden brown.
