Equipment
- Oven
- Baking sheet
- Pastry brush
- Small mixing bowl
- Knife or pizza cutter
Ingredients
- 1 can of crescent rolls
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 3 tbsp butter melted
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Unroll the crescent dough and arrange it as four rectangles on a greased cookie sheet, pressing the seams together to form solid rectangles.
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon, then set aside.
- Brush melted butter onto two of the rectangles and sprinkle a little less than half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
- Place the two unbuttered rectangles over the buttered ones and press the edges together to seal.
- Cut both stacked rectangles into six strips, brush with any remaining melted butter, twist each strip a few times, and arrange them on the cookie sheet.
- Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown.
Notes
- For extra richness, drizzle with a simple powdered sugar glaze after baking.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg for a slightly deeper spice flavor.
- Use puff pastry instead of crescent dough for an even flakier texture.
