Sweet Rolls!

I love it when a craving for something sweet can be baking in a matter of minutes.  This recipe is easily adapted to include your favorite things while still prepared quickly. 

What you will need:

* Pillsbury Crescent Seemless Dough Sheet
* Butter
* Brown Sugar
* Pecans (or your nut of choice)

Icing:
* Powdered Sugar
* Milk
* Vanilla

This is so easy.  Un-pop the dough and roll it flat.  Melt a half stick of butter and brush it on the dough.  Sprinkle as much brown sugar on top the buttered sheet as you like.  Drizzle with another half stick of nearly melted butter.  Add the pecans.

Roll up tightly.  Cut into 8 slices and place them in a sprayed baking pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.  Whisk the icing ingredients together and spoon over warm rolls!  Oh, yum!
What you can do differently - add some cinnamon to the brown sugar, change the type of nut you use (or don't use any), add raisins or cranberry or a favored dried fruit, add orange zest (then use orange extract instead of vanilla in the icing), make them lemon or any other citrus flavor, add chocolate chips...  For even more decadence you may want to cut the rolls into 4 extra thick slices (remember to adjust your baking time if you choose this). Your imagination and tastebuds create the limits.

  1. I made these this morning, and I have to say that we like these Better than regular cinnamon rolls. This dough soaks up the butter and melted sugar...so good! I only used 3-4 tablespoons of butter, total, and they still were fabulous. I will definitely make these again...thanks for sharing the recipe!
