Frequently Asked Questions about Crescent Rolls
Crescent rolls are rolls made out of individual triangular shaped pieces of dough that are then rolled up and baked. Crescent rolls are a popular choice especially during the holiday season when served as a side with butter.
The ingredients used to make crescent roll dough is usually a basic flour, leavener, and fat dough. It is the shape of the dough that really may make it stand out as a roll.
Obviously, you can make rolls with the dough. The rolls can be served as breakfast with a bit of jam or butter or they can be served on the side with a meal.
However, store bought crescent roll dough is a popular purchase idea for making other recipes such as these:
🟢Wrapped Around Hot Dogs.
🟡Stuffed as a whole with pizza ingredients or cheese and baked.
🟠Or, as used in this recipe, layered with jam to make a great tasting breakfast.
Tips for making crescent roll muffins.
Unroll your crescent roll dough out on a sheet of parchment paper to prevent sticking. Another option is to lightly dust a clean surface with sugar free powdered sugar..
More helpful tips for you.
- When prepping your muffin pan, it may be a good idea to spray the pan itself in addition to the cup. This is in case the jam spills out while baking.
- While I am using sugar free jam to make my muffins you can use something else. Sugar free chocolate chips or erythritol mixed with ground cinnamon (like a cinnamon 'sugar') are other options.
- This is one of those sugar free recipes that is not keto low carb. However, if you use a keto low carb baking mix to make a dough that you can roll out, you can try to make these muffins lower in carbohydrates (have not tried this as of yet...).
How to store crescent roll muffins.
Personally, I think that there muffins are best when served warm when the ingredients are at their peak consistency. However, leftovers should be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated (for up to a few days). Microwaving the muffins for about a half minute can help if needed. 🙂
