Crescent Roll Breakfast Rings Hints and Tips

Just follow the instructions step by step. The process really easy especially because of the ready-made dough.

You use the rolls as a flat sheet, not to roll up. It's really a wonderful way to use this delicious dough and turn it into a pastry treat.

In the first process, add the required ingredients into a small to amedium-sized saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat just until the sugar is melted.

When you twist the strips before making into a ring don't stretch it. Just lightly twist a couple of times in the opposite direction and then bring around to a circle.

What I mean by 'twist a couple of times in the opposite direction' is this. Take hold of one end with your hand and the other end with your other hand. Now twist one hand forward while twisting the other hand backwards. There! It's twisted.

No need to speed through any of the steps. Nothing can go wrong.

After you make these crescent roll rings you might want to try another simple breakfast treat using ready-made crescent rolls.

Easy Mini Cinnamon Rolls can be made for the holidays too or year-round. Try not to eat too many.

What Can Be Used Instead of Walnuts?

If you don't like walnuts then there are many others you can try. Almonds, pecans and pine nuts come to mind.

Pine nuts are actually seeds but if your allergic to nuts you still may be allergic to pine nuts so be careful.

I can't really think of a seed that would be a good substitute. Offhand, the only one I can think of that are in a bigger size are pepitas or pumpkin seeds. Not sure they'd work though. If you're game to try it then please go ahead.

Notes

I don't think you'll need to do any freezing for these rolls but in case you made them just for yourself - you deserve it! - then YES they do freeze well.

Just pack into rigid sided freezer containers or double bag in freezer bags and they will keep up to 6 months.

Defrost in the fridge and then eat up.
