Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    The egg white-sugar topping on the crescent rolls gives them an extra shine and sweet crunch.
  • tip 2
    Swap the whipped topping for whipped cream, if desired.
  • tip 3
    In this recipe, two triangles of crescent roll dough are stacked on top of each other and rolled together to form one extra-large, extra-fluffy crescent roll (four rolls total).
