Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 8 ounce tubes refrigerated crescent roll sheets*
- 1 3 ounce container (1/3 cup) garlic parmesan butter*
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F degrees.
- Lightly spray 8 muffin cups with cooking spray. Do not spray the empty ones if using muffin pans with more than 8 cups/tins/
- Working with one dough sheet at a time, carefully unroll the sheet on your counter and lightly roll out or very gently stretch to a 16x10-inch rectangle. I did not need any flour on the surface but it's possible it might be needed if your room is warm.
- Spread about one third of the butter mixture over the sheet, all the way to the edges. Starting at the long side of the dough, roll it into a log. Pinch the seams together on the long side.
- Cut the log in half crosswise, creating two shorter logs. Cut the logs in half lengthwise, creating four sections.
- With the cut side up, roll one section carefully up like a cinnamon roll, tucking the end into the top of the cut sides. Place it in a lightly greased muffin pan. Repeat this procedure with the remaining sections, then with the remaining dough sheet and one third of the butter.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining butter before or after baking. You can also melt the butter to brush it on.
- Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Yield: 8 cruffin rolls.
Notes
*Make your own garlic parmesan butter: Combine 1/3 cup softened salted butter, 1 teaspoon minced garlic or garlic paste, 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese.
*If you use the perforated roll dough, be sure to press together the perforations, first.
To make an even dozen, use 3 tubes (cans) of crescent roll dough sheets and increase the butter to 1/2 cup.
Pro tip: It's ok to leave muffin cups empty if you are baking 4 cruffins in a 6-cup muffin pan. No need to add water to the empty cups (tins).
