- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp strawberry or vanilla flavoring
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough.
- Sprinkle the strawberry sugar mixture all over.

Notes
If you can’t find a crescent dough sheet, use regular crescent rolls and pinch the seams together.
Roll the dough as tightly as possible so the rolls keep their shape while baking.
Best served warm with extra glaze on top.
