3 Fun Recipes You Can Make Using Pillsbury Crescent Rolls

Almost everybody loves a good crescent roll. They're yummy and thanks to the handy packaging, super easy to make. But you can take this semi-simple roll and turn into other things you're family will love while still not spending much time or effort on it. Here are a few ideas:

Easy Cinna-Rolls 



What You'll Need
  • 1 tube (8 count) Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, unrolled and separated
  • 6 tablespoons butter,softened
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons powdered Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
How To Make Them

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Open Crescent Rolls, unroll and separate placing them on an ungreased cookie sheet( preferably one with sides)
In a small bowl, mix together the butter, sugar and cinnamon. This will be the filling for the rolls.

Evenly spread the cinnamon butter over the crescent rolls and roll up. (No fancy move here, just roll like you would if you were making them plain.)

Arrange tip side down on the cookie sheet 

Place in over and bake for 10-12 minutes.

Make the Glaze

In a small bowl, mix together the butter, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.

Place in a zip lock bag and snip a tiny corner off.

Finally, generously drizzle the glaze over the cinna-rolls.
