Cinnamon Twists

 
 
This delicious, dainty treat is perfect for breakfast or with tea and today I'm having green tea.    This recipe is easy to prepare and would be perfect for kids to help with.  In fact I haven't made these in years, but after making them,  one of our sons said that "these are amazing", and my hubby said, "these are so good"!  You know,  I can make something completely from scratch and the simplest things get the raves!!   Here's the recipe:

1/4 cup brown sugar
2T. butter, softened
1 t. cinnamon
1 (8-oz) can crescent rolls

Glaze

3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 T. butter
1-2 T. hot water

In a small bowl, combine first 3 ingredients.

Separate crescent rolls into 4 rectangles, firmly press perforations to seal.

Spread rectangles with sugar mixture. Top with remaining 2 rectangles. Cut each rectangles into 8 strips. Twist each strip several times and flatten on a greased cookie sheet, or onto parchment paper.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown.  Remove immediately onto wax paper.

Mix together ingredients for the glaze. Glaze while twists are warm.

Makes 16 twists.


 
Here's my little gnome garden.  I wanted a fairy garden, but haven't found a tiny fairy yet.  In it are some blue pebbles from the $ Tree spilling out of a little blue bowl that my Mom sent me.  The birdhouse is perched in the back with an iron bench on the right with a bird bath with the frog.  I keep it outside on my patio, but the day was windy and chilly, so tea was inside!
I am sharing this with:

  16. Mmm, cinnamon twists with tea. My mother used to make what she called cinnamon rolls with pie pastry - similar to this method and I loved them.
    Your little gnome garden is sweet. I have made a couple of fairy gardens outside but I've yet to find the tiny furniture. I like the whimsy of these little people in the garden.

  20. Good morning Kitty,
    Your little gnome garden is so cute and I love the wee frog in the bird bath! Your cinnamon twists look wonderful! I used to make them with bread dough when I made bread back in those early days, but this is so much easier. My boys are coming home in June and this would be an easy and quick treat for them. Pretty teacup trio too. Would those be another hand painted set by your Aunt Kitty? Thank you for sharing and coming to tea. Have a happy day.

    Blessings,
    Sandi
