Watch Out, Papa John's


It's exam week and life sucks. Not to mention I've been sick for the past few days, so while finals are looming over my poor congested head, little work has been accomplished. In light of this non-working pattern, my roomie Lindsey and I decided to have an dinner together. Which of course meant ordering a large half cheese, half pepperoni pizza with extra garlic sauce and extra pepperoncinis. Delish. Well we ran out of money, so we practiced restraint and did not order cinnasticks. IT WAS PAINFUL. Halfway through dinner, however, a lightbulb went off.
And thus the crescinnamon roll was born. Papa John's now has some serious competition in the dessert department.

RECIPE:
1 can of Pillsbury (or any brand) Crescent Rolls
1 quarter stick of butter (I know that equals a certain number of tablespoons, but I know you're going to cut from the stick anyway, so I really don't think it matters)
1 1/2 t ground cinnamon
1 1/2 t sugar



Preheat the oven to 350. I don't care what the directions say. Cut your butter eight slices, and then cut each slice in to two rectangular halves. Place one half at the widest part of the unfolded crescent roll, and the second half about a third of the way down. Blend sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Using a spoon, sprinkle the mixture onto the entire surface of the unfolded crescent roll. Roll the crescents as you would normally.
Pop em in the oven and bake until the white begins to turn gold. Not a golden brown, gold. They will look underdone. They are not. Take them out and be careful not to burn your tongue because they have a tendency to jump into your mouth without warning. And suddenly they are gone. All of them.

Enjoy!




Until your time again finds mine,
Julia
