Stir brieflyl  Add flour and mix together.  Cover pan with lid and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to roll out, shape rolls as desired.   (can divided roll into thirds.  Lightly flour surface of counter.  Roll each third out in a large
circle about /12-inch thick.  Spread lightly with butter if desired.  Cut into wedges and roll each up, beginning at the wide end, to form a
crescent shape).

they will dry out.   Makes about 3 dozen rolls.
