2

Place 1 teaspoon cream cheese in center of 1 triangle. Fold dough over cheese; press to seal.
3

Tuck top point of triangle down to long side; pinch other 2 points together.
4

Fry dough in 2 batches, about 3 minutes per batch, turning often, until crescents are nicely browned. Drain on paper towels.

Expert Tips

Really pinch together those seams and points of the dough so that tasty cheese stays inside the dough where it belongs.
