1
package (8 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent rolls
1
tablespoon butter, melted
2
tablespoons granulated sugar
1
teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2
cup powdered sugar
1/4
teaspoon vanilla
1
to 2 teaspoons orange juice or milk
  • 1 Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease an 8- or 9-inch round baking pan; set aside. Unroll dough (do not separate); press perforations to seal. Brush dough with melted butter. In a small bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough. Starting from a long side, roll up dough. Using a sharp knife, slice dough into eight pieces. Arrange rolls, cut sides up, in prepared pan, flattening each slightly.
  • 2 Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden. Cool rolls slightly in pan on a wire rack. Remove rolls from pan. In a small bowl, stir together powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough orange juice or milk to make an icing of drizzling consistency. Drizzle icing over warm rolls. Serve warm.

I agree with other reviewers, since when are Pillsbury crescent rolls healthy?

I make this with the reduced fat crescent rolls. I also leave the butter out and use Splenda in place of sugar. We like the orange rolls so I add some grated orange peel to the sugar/cinnamon and thin the icing with orange juice.

Thank you for making a recipe that is quick for us on-the-go breakfast eaters. Delicious, healthier choice to the fast food cinnamon rolls we used to eat!
