Cinnamon Crescent Rolls
Ingredients:
- 1 package (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
- 1-2 tablespoons milk (for optional glaze)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Separate it into triangles along the perforated lines.
3. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined.
4. Brush each crescent roll triangle with melted butter, ensuring they are evenly coated.
5. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over each triangle, making sure to cover the surface.
6. Starting from the wide end, roll up each triangle tightly to form crescent shapes.
7. Place the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll to allow for expansion during baking.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
9. Once baked, remove the cinnamon crescent rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.
10. Optional Glaze: If desired, prepare a simple glaze by mixing powdered sugar with milk until you reach your desired consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon crescent rolls.
11. Serve warm and enjoy the heavenly combination of flaky pastry and aromatic cinnamon.
12. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. However, they're best enjoyed fresh out of the oven!
