Shortcut Butter Rolls

You’ll need: Milk, Crescent Roll dough, cinnamon, sugar*, vanilla, and butter (or margarine).
That is all.
Notice my choice in getting the generic crescent rolls. Y’all know my motto, right?
Nothing but the cheapest for my family!
Pretend there is vanilla in this photo just like I sometimes pretend my house is clean.
P.S. You can use Splenda as a replacement for sugar in this whole recipe if you like. A lot of folks have been on a Stevia kick lately so I gave it a go but Stevia is definitely not for me. Of course, if you have a favorite artificial sweetener and want to try that, go for it. I’ve only done it with Splenda so I can’t speak for any others from a personal account.

To start, you’re gonna need a surface to roll all this out onto.
Usually I get some waxed paper and sprinkle a little flour on it but I felt like being even easier today so I just grabbed a baking pan and sprayed it with cooking spray.

Place your dough on the greased or floured surface.

Roll it out and press the seams together so it is one big old sheet of dough.

 Spread that whole thing with softened butter or margarine.
Don’t spread all the way to the edge but leave about 1/2 an inch all around.

Sprinkle a wee bit of cinnamon over it if you like.
You can also leave this off.

Roll that up longways and press it together a little bit with your hands.

Cut that into 10 or 12 pieces.
Just see where your knife ends up and cut. It don’t make no nevermind if you have 9, 10, or 12 slices.

Spray an 8 inch round pan (A cake pan works fine) with cooking spray.

 Place your slices in it.

Place milk and vanilla in a microwave proof measuring cup and heat his in the microwave for about a minute, or until it is very warm.
Microwaves are so stinking different that I can’t really tell you an exact time here so you’ll have to use your common sense.

Stir in your sugar to the hot milk and keep stirring until sugar is dissolved.

Place this in a 350 degree oven and bake until rolls are golden brown, about 30-35 minutes.

I like to serve these warm as dessert at the end of a good country meal, but they are also delightful for breakfast or a coffee snack.

Just eat one.
And then another.
