Starting from wide end roll up each wedge toward point. Place with center point down, 2" apart on prepared cookie sheet. Curve ends to form crescents. Cover loosely with sheet of waxed paper. Set in warm place free from drafts, until double in bulk, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees. With fork beat egg yolk with 1 tablespoon water. Use to brush tops of rolls. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly on wire rack.
