Words can’t explain how much I LOVE homemade cinnamon rolls, But I hate waiting FOREVER for them to be ready to cook. I always try to make easy shortcuts (even though they are good, none are as good as completely homemade) and it just so happened that I had a pie crust that was about to expire in my refrigerator DING DING DING Lightbulb lite up like christmas. So Here is a REALLY quick and easy way to make mini cinnamon rolls.
Here’s what you will need:
1/2 cup Sugar
Pie crust (you can also do the same with canned crescent rolls)
1 table spoon Cinnamon
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened
First, Preheat your oven to 350°
Next, Take the pie crust (or crescent roll) and roll out until its flat.
Then, take the Sugar, Cinnamon, & 1/2 of the stick of Butter & whip together(I melted my butter). Now there is no certain amount of sugar and cinnamon to use, you can add more sugar, or cinnamon for your preference.
Spread the mixture evenly on the flattened pie crust. Once spread, roll dough from bottom to top, try to roll it tight, it can get loose and spread open when you cut it.
Cut the roll into 1 inch pieces.
Coat a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Cook for 10-15 mins or until lightly golden on the edges. Tip: Make sure that you coat your pan, when the sugar melts it leaks out and can become a very sticky mess.
Now, Once the rolls are done, you can put the glaze on them. Any glaze will work, I made a simple glaze. 1/3 cup of sugar and the other 1/2 stick of butter and melted. I put the rolls on wax paper once they came out the oven so that they wouldn’t be stuck to the pan once they cooled. Plus it makes for easier cleanup after putting the glaze on them.
Tip Alert: You can also add your favorite nuts once the sugar mixture is spread
