Rolls & Filling

MeasurementsIngredients
2 (8-oz) cansRefrigerated Crescent Rolls
3 TbspButter or Margarine, softened
CupSugar
2 tspCinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Place 5 Tbsp of margarine in a 13x9 inch pan and put it in the oven to melt.
  2. Remove the pan from the oven. Stir in the brown sugar and water. Sprinkle the pecans evenly over the mixture.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the cup sugar and cinnamon.
  4. Unroll the crescent dough into 8 rectangles, pressing the seams to seal.
  5. Spread the rectangles with the 3 Tbsp softened butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  6. Roll up each rectangle tightly from the short side and cut each log into 4 pieces.
  7. Place the 32 rolls cut-side down in the prepared pan.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Immediately invert the pan onto a serving platter. Serve warm.

Note

The key to this recipe is to invert the pan immediately after it comes out of the oven. This ensures the hot caramel sauce coats the rolls instead of setting in the pan.
