  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 can (8 count) Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescents
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
  • 1/4 cup icing sugar
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon milk

Steps

  •

    Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. In small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon; set aside.

    2
    Unroll dough on work surface; press into 15x9-inch rectangle and press seams together. Spread melted butter evenly over dough to within 1/4 inch of edges. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture.

    3
    Roll dough up starting at one long side; pinch seam to seal. Using sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice dough lengthwise all the way through.
  •

    Keeping cut sides up, bring ends together, twisting dough together and spiraling into 5 1/2-inch circle. Place on cookie sheet.

    Crescent twist is best served the same day. Store leftovers in covered container, and reheat in microwave 15 to 20 seconds uncovered on High.
