More About This Recipe

  • So simple, yet so very necessary, these cinnamon sugar crescent rolls bring some sweetness to the brunch buffet and convenience to snacking. Have an unexpected guest that shows up for mid-morning coffee? These cinnamon rolls are the answer. Have a case of the hangries mid-afternoon? These cinnamon rolls are the answer. Double the batch for a crowd or make them for the week and store in an airtight container to have a snack on hand for the week. If you do store them, make sure to warm them up in the microwave before serving or eating. These rolls are at their best when they’re warm, preferably straight out of the oven—really all breakfast pastries are at their best when served warm from the oven. And who knew you could do so much with a can of Pillsbury crescents? We did because we’re forever finding ways to hack a can of crescent rolls.
