These flaky rolls can be baked after removing a roast or casserole from the oven. Simply increase your oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) degrees to bake them.

Parmesan Cheese Biscuit Crescents

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons finely snipped fresh parsley
Milk
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1. In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in center of dry mixture, then add buttermilk all at once. Using a fork, stir just until moistened.
2. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Quickly knead dough by folding and pressing dough gently for 10 to 12 strokes or until dough is nearly smooth. Roll dough into 13-inch circle. Brush with melted butter or margarine. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese and the parsley. Cut into 12 wedges. Roll up each wedge from the wide end to the point.
3. Place crescents seam side down about 2-inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet, curving to form crescents. Brush with milk and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese.
4. Bake in a 425°F (220°C) oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden. Remove crescents from baking sheet and serve warm.

Makes 12 biscuits.
