Ingredients
Scale
Main Dough Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
Spice Mixture:
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Topping:
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) butter, melted
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a precise 375°F (190°C) to create the ideal baking environment.
- Carefully unfurl the crescent roll dough, gently separating each delicate triangle onto a clean surface.
- Craft a fragrant cinnamon-sugar blend by thoroughly combining the two ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
- Generously coat each dough triangle with a lustrous layer of melted butter, ensuring complete coverage.
- Liberally dust the buttered triangles with the aromatic cinnamon-sugar mixture, creating an even, sweet coating.
- Expertly roll each triangle from the wide base to the pointed tip, forming elegant crescent shapes.
- Arrange the rolled crescents on a prepared baking sheet, maintaining slight separation between each pastry.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the crescents transform into a beautiful golden-brown hue.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool briefly before serving these warm, sweet treats that promise to delight the senses.
Notes
- Brush butter generously to ensure the cinnamon-sugar mixture sticks perfectly to the dough, creating a deliciously caramelized exterior.
- For a gluten-free version, swap traditional crescent roll dough with a gluten-free alternative or use puff pastry for a flakier texture.
- Consider adding a light drizzle of cream cheese glaze or vanilla icing after baking to elevate the sweetness and create a more decadent dessert treat.
- Experiment with different spice combinations like adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon-sugar mix for a unique flavor profile.
