    Appetizer Cups

     

     

    It was a simple idea...make a cup...fill it with stuff... 

     

     

    But how? 

     

     

    Well this is how... 

     

    With a little help from the store and a mini muffin tin you can suddenly become an assembly line for one of a kind, irresistibly cute little appetizers.

     

     

     

    RECIPE:

    1 8oz can Crescent Roll Dough

    Rolling Pin

    Knife/Pizza Wheel

     

     

    DIRECTIONS:


     Unroll crecent roll dough onto a lightly floured surface...

     

     

     

     

     

    Pinch the seams with your fingers in order to create one seamless rectangle of dough.

    Dough should be tacky enough to stick together easily.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Roll out dough till it is about 1/3 bigger than the original size.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Cut the rectangle into 24 even squares. Place squares into a greased mini muffin tin and press the dough to the sides of the cup.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until cups are golden brown.

     

     

     

     

     

    Let cups cool and fill with things like cheese, salads or even mini meatballs. ENJOY!

     

     

     

     

     

    Pin It!
