Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) Crescent roll dough (refrigerated)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface, separating it into the pre-cut triangles.
In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, granulated sugar, orange zest, and vanilla extract until well combined to create a spreadable filling.
Gently spread the orange butter mixture evenly over the surface of each dough triangle.
Starting at the wide end of each triangle, roll the dough tightly toward the pointed end to form a swirl. Pinch the ends slightly to seal.
Place the swirls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for expansion.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the swirls are golden brown and puffed.
While the swirls are baking, prepare the orange glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and orange juice in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the swirls are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
Drizzle the orange glaze over the warm swirls using a spoon or piping bag.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delightful Orange Crescent Swirls!
