Honey Butter Crescent Rolls
Description
This recipe uses crescent roll dough as the base, which is separated and rolled into individual triangles before baking at 350°F until golden. While baking, a honey butter is prepared by melting salted butter and mixing it with honey and powdered sugar until thickened. Once the rolls come out warm, the honey butter is drizzled over them to impart sweetness and moisture.
The resulting rolls have a light, flaky texture characteristic of crescent dough. The honey butter glaze adds a sticky, sugary coating that enhances flavor without overpowering the rolls. The butteriness combined with the sweetness from honey and powdered sugar creates a balanced taste and richness.
These crescent rolls are apt for serving warm as a breakfast treat or alongside savory dishes for a touch of sweetness. The recipe also allows for adapting toppings by omitting powdered sugar for less sweetness or using frozen croissants as a substitute dough. Additionally, they can be baked in an air fryer for convenience, keeping their soft texture intact.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces crescent rolls brand: Pillsbury Original
- 2 tablespoons butter salted
- 1 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Unroll dough, separate into 8 triangles. Roll up loosely on an I greased cookie sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
- While crescents bake begin making honey butter. In a small sauce pan, melt salted butter. Then add the honey and powdered sugar. Mix well until incorporated (the sauce will instantly become thicker once the powdered sugar is added), remove from the heat and set to the side.
- Once crescents are golden brown remove from the oven. Using a spatula, lift underneath the crescents to ensure they didn't stick. Then, the drizzle honey butter sauce on top and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- To reduce sugar, omit the powdered sugar in the honey butter glaze, though it helps thicken and add sweetness.
- Frozen croissant dough can be used in place of crescent rolls for a similar texture and taste.
- For air fryer preparation, spray the basket with non-stick spray and cook at 325°F for 8-10 minutes until golden, then drizzle honey butter over the warm rolls.
