Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tube 8 oz crescent rolls (227 g)
For the filling:
  • 4 tablespoons 56 g butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup 50 g granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons 4 g cinnamon
For the glaze:
  • 2 tablespoons 28 g butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup 30 g plus 2 tablespoons (15 g) powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon 2.5 mL vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Unroll and separate crescent rolls and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together softened butter, granulated sugar, and cinnamon.
  4. Spread the mixture over the crescent rolls and roll them up tightly. Arrange so the tip side of the roll is facing down on the baking sheet.
  5. Bake until lightly golden, 10-12 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, stir together melted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  7. Pipe or drizzle the glaze over the warm crescents and serve.

Notes

You can add chopped nuts or raisins to the filling for added texture and flavor.
For a creamier glaze, you can add a tablespoon of milk or cream to the mixture.
These cinnamon roll crescents are best served warm and fresh out of the oven.
