Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Unroll both cans of crescent dough and press each into a flat rectangle on a clean surface.

  2. Step 2

    Brush melted butter evenly across each rectangle with a pastry brush.

  3. Step 3

    Mix cinnamon and brown sugar in a small bowl, then sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough.

  7. Step 7

    Whisk powdered sugar and milk together in a small bowl until smooth with no lumps.
