Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated crescent dough
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Spices and Flavoring:
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Nuts (Optional):
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375F (190C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, creating a non-stick surface for your delicate pastry creation.
- Carefully unroll the crescent dough on a lightly floured workspace, gently pressing the seams together to form a seamless rectangular canvas.
- Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small mixing bowl, creating a fragrant spice blend that will infuse the twists with warmth.
- Generously brush melted butter across the entire dough surface, then evenly scatter the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Slice the dough into uniform strips approximately 1 inch wide using a sharp knife or pizza cutter for precision.
- Take each strip and fold it in half lengthwise, then gently twist to form an elegant spiral shape that will capture the cinnamon’s essence.
- Arrange the twisted strips on the prepared baking sheet, leaving slight spacing between each delicate pastry.
- Sprinkle brown sugar across the twists, allowing it to melt and caramelize during baking. Optional: Scatter chopped pecans for an additional layer of texture and flavor.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the twists transform into a golden-brown, puffy delight with crisp edges.
- While cooling slightly, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract into a smooth, glossy glaze, adjusting liquid as needed for perfect drizzling consistency.
- Drizzle the glaze over warm twists, allowing it to cascade and pool in the spiraled crevices, creating an irresistible finish.
- Serve immediately to capture the ultimate sensory experience of warm, gooey cinnamon bliss.
Notes
- Swap crescent roll dough for homemade or gluten-free alternatives to accommodate dietary restrictions and enhance flavor complexity.
- Try different nut varieties like walnuts or almonds to add unique texture and personalize the recipe to individual taste preferences.
- Control sugar content by reducing granulated and brown sugar amounts or substituting with natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup for a healthier twist.
- Enhance moisture and richness by brushing additional melted butter during baking, ensuring a soft, tender texture that melts in your mouth.
