I never thought of putting an egg in my pie crust. Doesn't it make it a little tough, Jim?

I make a peach strudel from crescent rolls with peach preserves in the middle and coconut. I'll try to find the recipe. It is very easy and my kids always enjoyed it both as a sweet roll, or with ice cream for dessert. If you think this is something you would like, let me know and I will look it up.

thanks bigjim I could never find a good pie dough recipe
licia do you use the pillsbury croissants?

Biev, I have confused two different recipes - still looking for the one I used the crescent rolls to make. However, I did find the other called Easy Peach Strudel. I will post it right after we have dinner. I think the steaks are just right.

Biev, I've made this many times, but not lately. It is very good and quite easy. It is from the Pillsbury Bake-off Classics II book.
Easy Peach Strudel
1 1/4 cups Pillsbury Best All purpose, unbleached or self rising flour
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup margarine or butter, softened
1 cup peach preserves
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
Powdered Sugar

Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup, level off. In medium bowl, combine flour, sour cream and margarine or butter. Mix well. Cover. Chill at least 1 hour. Heat oven to 450 deg F. On well floured surface, roll HALF of dough to a 13x6 inch rectangle. Spread with 1/2 cup preserves to within 1 inch of edges. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup coconut and 1 tablespoons walnuts. Starting with 13 inch side, roll up jelly-roll fashion. Repeat. Place seam side down 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Seal ends. Bake at 450F for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from pan, cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut into diagonal slices. 20 slices.

Hope you enjoy this. It is much easier than it looks.
