Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 cup cold butter
Sugars and Spices:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) cinnamon
- Dash of salt
Wet Ingredients and Finishing:
- 1 tablespoon softened butter
- 1–1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 to 1-1/2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center for even baking.
- Create a crumbly mixture by combining cold butter with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and flour using a pastry cutter or fork until the texture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Spread an ungreased cookie sheet and carefully unfold the crescent roll dough into individual triangular pieces, maintaining their distinct shape.
- Generously distribute the prepared crumb mixture across the surface of each dough triangle, ensuring even coverage.
- Transfer the cookie sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-12 minutes, watching for a golden-brown coloration that indicates perfect doneness.
- While the pastries are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and milk in a separate bowl until the glaze achieves a smooth, pourable consistency.
- After removing the baked crescents from the oven, allow them to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes to prevent glaze from melting immediately.
- Optionally slice the pastries into smaller triangular segments for easier serving.
- Drizzle the prepared glaze over the warm cinnamon-sugar crescents, creating an attractive zigzag pattern.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal texture and temperature of these delectable treats.
Notes
- Customize the crescent roll dough by using whole wheat or gluten-free options for dietary restrictions.
- Ensure butter is cold when making the crumb mixture to create a more textured, crumbly topping.
- Prevent over-browning by watching the rolls closely during the last few minutes of baking, as ovens can vary in temperature and intensity.
- Experiment with flavor variations by adding a pinch of nutmeg or replacing vanilla extract with almond extract for a different taste profile.
