Notes
Substitutions and Variations
Crescent Sheets - Can use crescent rolls or dough sheets.
Butter - Salted or unsalted.
Brown Sugar - You can substitute white sugar, if needed, but I love the flavor brown sugar gives rolls and how it caramelizes.
Milk - Whatever you have on hand. Thin to desired consistency.
Tips
Refrain from removing crescent rolls from the refrigerator until ready to make your easy cinnamon rolls. This makes them easier to slice.Line your working surface with parchment paper for easy clean up.
