CINNAMON CRESCENTS

Steps:

• Melt the butter and let it cool for about 15 minutes. Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the 1/4 cup warm water; let the mixture stand for about 10 minutes. (If it does not bubble or increase in volume, the yeast is dead.)
• Place 2 cups of the flour in a large bowl and make a well in the middle. Pour into the well the beaten eggs, yeast mixture, and melted butter and mix together with a large wooden spoon or-if, like me, you love the feel of dough-with your hands. Add the remaining 1/2 cup flour, orange zest, and salt and mix thoroughly. The dough will be somewhat soft. Gently pat it into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. In a small bowl, toss the raisins with the Grand Marnier. Cover overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a baking pan with cooking spray or butter, or line it with parchment paper or a silicone liner. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Remove the dough from the refrigerator, and divide it into 4 equal parts. Dust a work surface with a liberal amount of cinnamon sugar. Using a rolling pin, roll out each portion of dough 1/4 inch thick on the sugar-coated work surface. After each stroke with the rolling pin, flip the dough, adding more cinnamon sugar to the work surface as needed. Cut the dough into 2-inch triangles. (Dough scraps can reformed into a ball and rolled out at least once.) Sprinkle a thin layer of cinnamon sugar on each dough triangle. Scoop 1 teaspoon of the macerated raisins onto the wide end of the triangle; roll up the dough beginning at the wide end. Place the crescents on the prepared baking sheet and bake until they are lightly golden brown, about 20 minutes.
