Quick and Easy Crescent Cinnamon Rolls

Serves 4

Ingredients:

For the cinnamon rolls:

• 2 tablespoons or more softened butter
• 3 teaspoons granulated sugar.
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
• 1 can refrigerated Pillsbury crescent roll (8 oz can)

For the glaze:

• ½ cup powdered or icing sugar
• 3 teaspoons milk or water

Method:

To make the rolls:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Grease or butter the bottom of an 8-inch or any round pan with butter. Keep aside
• Open the canister of the Pillsbury crescent roll and unroll the dough on to a lightly floured and clean cutting board or counter top.

• Seal the perforations of the dough by pinching them so that there are no holes or gaps.

• If preferable, using a floured rolling pin, you can slightly roll this dough.
• Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough till the edges.

• Mix the powdered sugar and cinnamon powder in a small bowl, sprinkle this over the butter evenly to coat the entire dough.

• Now, starting from the shorter side, roll the dough as tightly as possible to make a roll.

• Cut them into to 1 inch pieces using a sharp knife. If the dough has become soft, pop them in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
• Place these rolls cut side up in the greased baking pan.

• Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes or more till they are golden light brown in color.

For the glaze:

• As the rolls are baking, in a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar and milk to make a smooth glaze.
• As soon as the rolls are out of the oven, cool for about a minute.  Then spoon the glaze all over the warm rolls and serve them immediately.

Enjoy these gooey, sweet, cinnamon rolls fresh and warm from the oven!!!!
