"Delicious and easy to make. Makes lots of glaze - use the amount to your liking."

ingredients

• 1 package refrigerated crescent dinner roll
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1⁄3 cup sugar

directions

1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Lightly flour working surface.
3. Combine the sugar and the cinnamon.
4. Set aside.
5. Open crescent dough out, pressing seams together.
6. Starting with the"shortest edge" (ie, not the long edge) of the dough, cut it into 1" strips.
7. Roll them up, like mini cinnamon rolls.
8. Place in 9" round cake pan.
9. Drizzle with the melted butter, then sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

11. While rolls are baking, combine the glaze ingredients.
12. Pour the glaze over the rolls that have been allowed to cool for a couple of minutes.
13. Reminder: this makes lots of delicious glaze.
14. I like to use it all (of course!), but use less if that is your preference.

Instead of the cinnamon-sugar, I use the glaze as a filling. I also use 1 tsp orange zest in the glaze and orange juice instead of concentrate.

These were very good although I did make the recipe a little differently than posted. I rolled up the whole piece of dough and then sliced into small pieces. There was too much cinnamon sugar mixture ~ probably 1/4 cup sugar would be plenty. I increased the cinnamon to 1 teaspoon. I used an 8 inch cake pan and the rolls all fit great. I also halved the glaze ingredients. The taste is just great ~ DH raved over them. Thanks for posting such a great recipe.
