2 (8 oz) pkgs Pillsbury Crescent Dough Sheets
1 cup(s) Sugar
2 sticks butter, room temperature
3 tbsp. Cinnamon
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Cut almond paste into 4 pieces; freeze. Combine sugar and cinnamon; set aside. Sprinkle flour across clean work surface. Open a package of dough; unroll flat. Leave it the same shape and thickness as from the package. Carefully, spread 4 tablespoons butter across the sheet. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar. Fold dough onto itself in thirds. Spread 1 tablespoon butter on dough. Fold dough in half. Place in freezer for 30 minutes.
- Remove dough from freezer. Roll into a 9-inch by 9-inch square. Using a fine grater, grate a piece of almond paste across the dough. Using a sharp knife, cut dough into 6 equal-sized strips. Roll up strips from top to bottom. Place in a 12-cup nonstick muffin pan with layers facing up. Repeat process with remaining package of dough and ingredients.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until puffed and golden. Immediately, sprinkle cruffins with cinnamon sugar.
- Note: You will only need half of almond paste. The other half can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 weeks or frozen for up to 3 months.
