Ingredients

Crescent roll dough (1 package)
Butter (2 tablespoons, melted)
Cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
Sugar (2 tablespoons)
Honey (2 tablespoons, for drizzling)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles as directed on the package.
Step 2: Brush each triangle with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with cinnamon and sugar.
Step 3: Roll each triangle up starting from the wide end toward the tip, forming tight rollups.
Step 4: Place the rollups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat, leaving some space between them.
Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Step 6: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Drizzle honey generously over the warm rollups before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or a few chopped nuts to the cinnamon sugar mix.
Try using maple syrup instead of honey for a different sweetness profile.
If you prefer a gooier center, add a thin layer of cream cheese before sprinkling the cinnamon sugar.

Storage

Store leftover rollups in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in a warm oven (350°F/175°C) for a few minutes to refresh their crispiness. Avoid refrigerating as it may dry them out.

FAQs

Can I make these rollups ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the rollups and keep them refrigerated for up to 8 hours before baking. Just add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the fridge.

Can I use different dough for this recipe?

While crescent roll dough works best for its flakiness, you can experiment with puff pastry or biscuit dough for a slightly different texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough

Filling

3 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Topping

2 tablespoons honey, for drizzling

Instructions

Prepare the dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and press the perforations together to create one solid rectangle.
Add the filling: Evenly spread the softened butter over the dough surface. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and ground cinnamon together, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
Roll the dough: Starting at one long edge, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log.
Cut and arrange: Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled dough into 1-inch slices and place them cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake the rollups: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
Drizzle with honey: Remove the cinnamon rollups from the oven and while still warm, drizzle the top with honey evenly.
Serve and enjoy: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

For a richer flavor, you can substitute honey with maple syrup or a glaze made of powdered sugar and milk.
Ensure butter is softened to spread easily without tearing the dough.
Serve these rollups warm to enhance the gooey texture and aroma.
For extra flair, add chopped nuts or raisins to the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
