Description
Cinnamon Crescent Rolls merge flaky pastry with warm spices for a delightful treat. Sweet layers of buttery dough and cinnamon sugar create a comforting breakfast or dessert that will satisfy your craving.
Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz/235 g) can crescent roll dough
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 3 tbsps unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- ½ tbsp milk
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prep Surface: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to create a non-stick foundation for the delicate pastry.
- Craft Seasoning: Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl, mixing thoroughly to develop a fragrant spice blend.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough, carefully separating each triangular section with precision.
- Layer Flavor: Generously coat each triangle with melted butter, ensuring complete coverage to enhance richness and promote golden browning.
- Season Pastries: Distribute the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly across the buttered triangles, creating a uniform layer of sweet, aromatic seasoning.
- Shape Crescents: Roll each triangle from the wide base to the pointed tip, forming classic curved crescent shapes with a smooth, elegant twist.
- Arrange Rolls: Place the shaped pastries on the prepared baking sheet, positioning the pointed end underneath to maintain their distinctive curve.
- Bake Perfectly: Slide the sheet into a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C), allowing the rolls to transform into golden, puffy delicacies for 11-13 minutes.
- Create Glaze: While pastries cool slightly, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract into a smooth, silky drizzling consistency.
- Finish Presentation: Artfully drizzle the glaze over the warm crescent rolls, adding a final touch of sweetness and visual appeal to these cinnamony treats.
Notes
Optimize Butter Application: Ensure even, thin layer of melted butter across entire dough surface for consistent flavor and golden browning without soggy texture.
Prevent Uneven Baking: Space crescent rolls slightly apart on baking sheet to allow hot air circulation, guaranteeing uniform golden-brown color and complete pastry expansion.
Control Cinnamon-Sugar Ratio: Sprinkle mixture sparingly to avoid overwhelming sweetness; aim for delicate, balanced coating that enhances without overpowering the pastry’s delicate flavor.
Glaze with Precision: Drizzle glaze when rolls are warm but not piping hot, allowing it to set smoothly without completely melting or becoming too runny, creating an elegant, professional finish.
