Let’s get one thing straight: Using shortcuts is not cheating, especially when it comes to making dessert. In fact, shortcuts can make desserts even better than they would have been if they were made completely from scratch. Crescent roll recipes are, perhaps, the best example of successful shortcuts.
There are so many possibilities for recipes with crescent rolls. While I love crescent roll dinner recipes, I’m all about the sweets. Danishes, rolls, bars… Crescent roll recipes for dessert can take so many shapes and forms that I could probably eat a different treat every night for the rest of my life and never repeat a single one. Now that’s impressive.
My love for Pillsbury crescent rolls started when I was in middle school. We made these cinnamon sugar knots in Home Economics one day and I just couldn’t stop eating them. It was the very first time I had ever eaten a crescent roll in a non-dinner side dish form and I couldn’t believe how much I enjoyed it. I remember going home that day and raiding my refrigerator to see if we had any extra Pillsbury tubes sitting around.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that I love baking with crescent rolls. Pillsbury crescent roll recipes are the best kinds of recipes to make. I love making them for crowds of people (including baking some up for bake sales) as well as just for myself on a lazy night in. The flakiness of the crescent rolls just goes so well with the sweetness of whatever topping or filling that’s combined with the rolls.
