Delicious Cinnamon Crescent Rolls Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup brown sugar

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully heated before baking.
  2. Prepare the dough

    In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

    Sift the dry ingredients for a lighter dough.
  3. Add butter and milk

    Cut in the softened butter and add milk, mixing until combined.

    Do not overmix; a few lumps are acceptable.
  4. Roll out the dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a large circle.

    Aim for about 1/4 inch thickness.
  5. Add cinnamon filling

    Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the dough.

    Leave a small border to prevent spilling when rolling.
  6. Cut and shape

    Cut the dough into triangular wedges and roll each up from the base.

    Start tightly rolling to ensure a nice shape.
  7. Bake the rolls

    Place the rolls on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes.

    Look for a golden-brown color on top.
  8. Cool and serve

    Let the rolls cool slightly before serving warm.

    Best enjoyed fresh from the oven.
