Shape Variations CLOVERLEAF ROLLS: Cut off three small bits of dough, shape into round balls and place in greased muffin tins, turning to grease the top. PARKER HOUSE: Roll the dough out thin and cut with a biscuit cutter. Brush top lightly with butter, crease slightly off center with the dull edge of a knife; fold larger part over the other and press edges. FAN-TANS: Roll dough out to about 1/8 inch thickness. Butter and cut into one-inch strips. Place six or seven of these strips on top of each other and cut into 1½ inch sections. Place sections in greased muffin tins with a long edge down. CRESCENTS: Roll dough into a circle about 14 inches in diameter and ¼ inch thick. Cut into a dozen pie-shaped pieces. Brush lightly with melted butter, then roll each wedge up, starting at the wide end. Curve the rolls slightly to form crescents and place on baking sheet in that position.
