Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 rolls
Ingredients
- 1 can crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into individual triangles on a clean, lightly floured surface.
- Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of raspberry preserves near the wider end of each crescent roll triangle, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent filling from leaking.
- Gently roll the dough from the wider end toward the pointed end, carefully encasing the raspberry preserves inside the crescent.
- Curve the ends of each rolled crescent slightly to create a traditional crescent shape, ensuring the preserves are fully enclosed.
- Place the filled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow even baking.
- Brush the top of each crescent with beaten egg, which will help create a golden, shiny exterior when baked.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and the dough is fully cooked.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to allow the preserves to set.
- Transfer to a serving plate and dust generously with powdered sugar using a fine-mesh sieve.
- Serve warm and enjoy the sweet, fruity raspberry filling within the flaky crescent rolls.
Tips
- Use high-quality raspberry preserves for the most vibrant flavor.
- Ensure your egg wash is evenly applied for a beautiful golden-brown finish.
- Don't overfill the crescents to prevent preserves from leaking during baking.
- Let the rolls cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar to prevent melting.
- For extra richness, consider adding a light cream cheese filling alongside the preserves.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Check crescents at the 12-minute mark to prevent over-browning.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and warmth.
