Ingredients
Scale
Dough and Filling
- 1 package Crescent Roll Dough (Consider pizza dough for a chewier bite)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Melted Butter
For Roasting and Glaze
- 4-6 pieces Skewers or Fire-Safe Sticks
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk or Cream
Instructions
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly to create the cinnamon sugar mixture that will be used as the filling.
- Prep Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean flat surface. Using a brush, evenly coat the dough with melted butter to add richness and help the cinnamon sugar adhere.
- Add Filling: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the buttery dough, ensuring good coverage for maximum flavor in every bite.
- Roll & Slice: Cut the dough into strips. Then, tightly roll each strip into spirals to form the classic cinnamon roll shape suitable for skewering.
- Skewer: Carefully thread each rolled cinnamon roll piece onto a skewer or fire-safe stick, leaving some space between each to allow even cooking.
- Cook Over Fire: Roast the skewered cinnamon roll-ups over glowing embers or a campfire for about 5 to 7 minutes, turning as needed until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Once roasted, remove the cinnamon roll-ups from the skewers. Drizzle with an icing made by mixing powdered sugar with milk or cream to your preferred consistency, then enjoy warm.
Notes
- For a chewier texture, substitute crescent roll dough with pizza dough.
- Ensure skewers or sticks are fire-safe to avoid burning or splintering.
- Adjust roasting time slightly based on heat of embers/fire for perfect golden color without burning.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the rolls warm and soft.
- Milk can be replaced with cream for a richer glaze consistency.
