Cinnamon Sugar Crescent
If you are like me, you always have a few cans of crescent dough in your fridge, for a quick easy breakfast in minutes. But my kids are getting bored with the plain old crescents. One easy twist you can do with proven kid-friendly flavors is cinnamon sugar crescents.
Cinnamon has tons of benefits. Cinnamon is full of antioxidants, has anti-inflammatory properties, reduces the risk of heart diseases, improves the sensitivity to hormone insulin, lowers blood sugar and is anti-diabetic… the list goes on and on. But you get the idea, don’t be too guilty of having a little bit of cinnamon sugar in your crescent!
The name says it all, this breakfast only requires 3 ingredients:
1 can of store bought crescent dough, produces 8 crescents
2 table spoon of sugar
1 table spoon of ground cinnamon
Method:
Pre-heat the oven following the instruction on the can. Unfold the dough onto a baking sheet. Note, if you don’t like scraping off the baked crescents off the baking sheet, use a silicone sheet. I did not have my morning coffee yet, so silicone sheet was forgotten. But it won’t happen again, coffee or not. Jokes aside, even if you forgot the silicone sheet, or don’t have one, it’s not the end of the world. All you need to do is to soak the baking sheet in water for a few minutes, the stuck on dough will come off easily with a little bit of scrubbing.
Mix sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl with a spoon. Sprinkle sugar mixture onto the spreaded dough, and smooth the mixture closer to the edges of the dough using the back of the spoon.
Roll up the lovely triangles as you normally would. Now it’s a fun time for the kids to pick up the leftover cinnamon sugar that escaped the dough. Then into the pre-heated oven the baking sheet goes.
In minutes, you will see happy faces!
