ISO: Meltaways, not a cookie or candy,

[Barbarainnc]

It is a yeast bread. I searched on the net, emailed and called some bakeries that sold them. Meltaways are either a sweet yeast dough or danish dough. They are filled with a cream cheese or fruit filling. Rolled up like a cinnamon roll, sliced and baked in either a muffin cup or pan. Anyone here ever heard of or has ever made them?? Do you have a recipe to share ?? Thanks for your help!!! Heard they are popular in MA, along with other places.

most of my meltaway recipes call for bisquick- fudge meltaways call for graham cracker crusts-
this seems to be close to what you're looking for except for the dough.............
CRESCENT MELTAWAYS
1 c. cottage cheese
1/2 lb. butter or margarine (1 c.)
2 c. sifted flour
1/4 c. melted butter
3/4 c. brown sugar
Dash of cinnamon
3/4 c. chopped walnuts
1 egg yolk, beaten
2 tbsp. water
Blend cottage cheese with the one cup butter, using fork. Sift in flour, blend until dough forms a ball. Divide dough into 3 portions. On lightly floured board, roll out one portion to 1/8" thickness, circular in shape. Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup nuts, dash of cinnamon. Cut into 12 pie shaped pieces. Roll each piece into crescent, starting at wide end. Place on greased cookie sheet with the point side down. Brush with egg and water (mixed). Bake at 400 degrees about 20 minutes or until golden. Repeat with other two remaining portions. Nice for coffees.
