It's a snow day here in DC! I wanted to make a special breakfast since I had a little free time. With five inches of snow on the ground, I needed to make do with what we had.
We celebrated my mother-in-law's birthday last night with a special-request homemade King Cake. It was delicious, but unfortunately none of the leftovers came home with us!
Still craving King Cake, I decided to try my hand at making a breakfast version with stuff we already had. It came out awesome, so I'm sharing it with you!
Ingredients:
- 8-pack Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
- 2 T melted butter
- 5 T sugar
- 1 t cinnamon
- 1 c powdered sugar
- 2 T water
- 1/2 t vanilla
Method:
- Preheat oven to 375 (350 for dark or nonstick pan)
- Unroll the dough and separate into 8 triangles
- Brush each triangle with melted butter
- Combine sugar and cinnamon and scatter evenly over the triangles
- Loosely roll triangles
- Bake for 11-13 minutes or until golden brown
- While rolls are cooling, combine water and vanilla
- Slowly add liquid to powdered sugar, mixing with a whisk (don't add it all at once!); add just enough liquid to make a gooey mixture
- Drizzle/spread glaze over the rolls
- Top with colored sugars
- Serve warm (or microwave) with a fresh cup of coffee!
- Enjoy!
