Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Twists
- 1 (8-ounce) package Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls (8 rolls)
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Arrange Crescent Rolls: Lay out the crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet, keeping them separate for easy spreading and rolling.
- Make Cinnamon Butter Spread: In a small bowl, mix together softened butter, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until fully combined. Spread this mixture evenly across each crescent roll.
- Roll and Bake: Roll each crescent roll tightly, then place them seam-side down on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 9-12 minutes or until the twists turn golden brown and flaky.
- Prepare Glaze: While the twists are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
- Glaze and Serve: Once the crescent twists have slightly cooled but are still warm, drizzle the glaze over the top. Serve immediately to enjoy them warm and gooey.
Notes
- Use softened butter for easier spreading.
- The amount of milk in the glaze can be adjusted to achieve desired thickness.
- For a stronger cinnamon flavor, sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top before baking.
- These twists are best served warm but can be reheated gently in the oven.
- Optional: Add chopped nuts or raisins to the cinnamon mixture for extra texture.
