Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until a pinch of dough sizzles on contact, ~2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Unroll crescent dough and cut into bite-size pieces (about 1.5 inches each).

  3. Step 3

    Fry dough pieces in batches for 1–2 minutes per side until deep golden brown; don't crowd the pan.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; brush lightly with melted butter while still warm.

  5. Step 5

    Mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl, then toss warm bites to coat generously.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately with soda or hot chocolate for dipping.
