How to Make Cinnamon Crescents

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease baking sheets.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 1/2 cups of flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder.
  3. Cut in the 1/2 cup of chilled butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup of milk and 1 large egg.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Divide the dough into three equal portions.
  7. Shape each portion into a smooth ball.
  8. In a small bowl, combine the 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon.
  9. Lightly sprinkle about one-third of the cinnamon-sugar mixture onto a clean work surface.
  10. Roll out one dough ball into a 12-inch circle on the prepared surface.
  11. Cut the circle into 12 equal wedges.
  12. Starting at the wide end, roll each wedge up tightly.
  13. Repeat steps 9-12 with the remaining dough portions and cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  14. Place the crescent rolls, point-side down, onto the prepared baking sheets.
  15. Gently curve each roll into a crescent shape.
  16. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  17. Let cool slightly on the baking sheets before serving and enjoy!
