Churros

This is one I was way excited for and for the first time, with the crescent roll recipes, was somewhat disappointed. There's just no substituting a real churro. (Oh, how I would love a churro right now.)

Ingredients
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 can crescent rolls
2 tbsp melted butter

Heat oven to 375. In small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon, set aside. Unroll dough, separate into 4 rectangles. Press each into 6x4 rectangle, perssing perforations to seal. Brush tops of 2 rectangles with melted butter; sprinkle with about half of the sugar mixture. Top each with remaining rectangle. Press edges lightly. Brush tops with melted butter.

With sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each rectangle stack lengthwise into 6 strips. Twist each strip 3 times; place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Brush tops with any remaining butter; sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture.


The only thing I didn't do, was I didn't use all the butter and sugar mixture. That might've been just enough to pusht the sugary flavor up a notch and put this one in my good graces. Everyone else still liked it, so maybe I'm biased because I love real churros. Since I can't have them here, I suppose this is a decent substitute. These are still yummy and tasty. Don't be ruined by my bias. :)
