Flaky and delicious, these cinnamon crescent rolls taste just like homemade sweet rolls (in a fraction of the time!). Enjoy the crescent roll cinnamon rolls with a classic powdered sugar glaze or give it a zesty finish by using orange juice instead of milk to make it drizzling consistency.

Ingredients

  • 1 8 ounce package (8) refrigerated crescent rolls

  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted

  • 2 tablespoon granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ cup powdered sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla

  • 1 - 2 teaspoon orange juice or milk

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease an 8x1-1/2- or 9x1-1/2-inch round baking pan; set aside. Unroll dough (do not separate); press perforations to seal. Brush dough with melted butter.

  3. Starting from a long side, roll up dough. Using a sharp knife, slice dough into 1-1/2-inch pieces. Arrange pieces, cut side up, in prepared pan, flattening each roll slightly.
