When handling crescent roll dough, it’s essential to be gentle to avoid tearing. Start by placing the tube of dough on a clean, flat surface. Using a rolling pin, carefully unroll the dough into a single sheet. If the dough is too cold and hard to roll out, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes. This will make it more pliable and easier to work with. Be sure to keep the dough on a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking, and avoid pressing too hard, as you want to maintain the layers that will create the delightful flakiness in your finished rolls.

Ingredients
  

2 cans of refrigerated crescent roll dough

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

1/4 cup honey

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

A pinch of salt

Optional: Flaky sea salt for a topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to ensure easy removal of the rolls later.

    Prepare the Honey Butter Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened butter, honey, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Using a fork or whisk, mix the ingredients together vigorously until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

      Roll Out the Crescent Rolls: Carefully open the cans of crescent roll dough. Unroll each can and separate the dough into the triangle-shaped sections provided.

        Spread the Honey Butter: Take about a teaspoon of your prepared honey butter mixture and spread it evenly over the wide end of each triangle. Gently spread towards the pointed tip, ensuring to leave a small uncoated margin along the sides.

          Roll Them Up: Starting at the wide end, begin to roll the triangle towards the pointed tip, forming a crescent shape. Make sure to tuck the pointed tip underneath the roll once you reach the end to help keep its shape during baking.

            Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each rolled crescent on your prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them to allow for expansion as they bake.

              Add Extra Honey Butter: If you wish, brush a bit of your remaining honey butter mixture on top of each roll for added flavor and a beautiful glossy finish. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top for a delightful balance of sweet and salty.

                Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are beautifully golden brown and puffed up.

                  Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Serve warm and savor the deliciously gooey Honey Butter Crescent Rolls!
