  3. Optional: Brush each triangle lightly with melted butter for added richness.
  4. Roll each triangle from the wide end to the point, creating a long churro shape.

  6. Optional: Sprinkle the unbaked churros with 1/4 cup of sugar before baking for extra crunch.
  7. Place the rolled churros onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Remove from the oven and immediately roll the warm churros in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving and enjoy your delicious baked crescent churros!
