Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
  • If you don't have any buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking will make the dough tough.
  • Roll the dough out into a thin rectangle. The thinner the dough, the flakier the rolls will be.
  • Spread the filling evenly over the dough. If you add too much filling, the rolls will be difficult to roll up.
  • Roll the dough up tightly. If the dough is not rolled up tightly, the rolls will come apart when they are baked.
  • Cut the rolls into even slices. Unevenly sliced rolls will bake unevenly.
  • Bake the rolls at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help the rolls to rise and become golden brown.
  • Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon bun crescent rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion.
