Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
- 1/4 cup cold butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup flour
Topping and Spice:
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 milliliters) cinnamon
- Dash of salt
Glaze Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon softened butter
- 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Unroll the crescent roll dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, carefully spreading each triangle to create a smooth, even surface.
- Craft a delectable crumb topping by combining granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, and flour with cold butter, using a pastry cutter or fork to create a coarse, sandy texture.
- Generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar crumb mixture across the entire surface of the stretched dough, ensuring an even distribution of the sweet, aromatic blend.
- Transfer the prepared sheet to the oven preheated to 400°F (200°C), allowing the pastry to transform into a golden, crispy delight for 8-12 minutes.
- While the pastry bakes, whip up a luxurious glaze by whisking powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and milk until achieving a silky, smooth consistency.
- Adjust the glaze thickness by incorporating additional powdered sugar if it appears too thin, creating the perfect drizzling texture.
- Remove the baked crescent rolls from the oven, allowing them to cool slightly and develop a delicate, crisp exterior.
- Optional: Slice the pastry into smaller, more manageable triangles for easier serving.
- Elegantly drizzle the prepared glaze over the warm cinnamon-sugar treat, creating an enticing presentation that promises a delightful flavor experience.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect balance of crispy pastry, warm cinnamon, and sweet glaze.
Notes
- Choose soft, cold butter for the best crumb mixture texture and even distribution of ingredients.
- Experiment with different spices like nutmeg or cardamom to add unique flavor dimensions to the basic cinnamon profile.
- For a gluten-free version, swap traditional crescent roll dough with gluten-free pastry dough or a similar alternative.
- Consider reducing sugar content by using natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit for a healthier dessert option.
