Ingredients
  

2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

1/4 cup honey

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1 egg, for egg wash (optional)

Extra honey, for drizzling (optional)

Fresh herbs (such as thyme or rosemary), for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Honey Butter: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, blend until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined. Set the honey butter aside to let the flavors meld.

    Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

      Roll Out the Dough: Carefully open each can of crescent roll dough and separate the individual triangles. Gently stretch each triangle slightly to enlarge them, ensuring they're easy to roll.

        Spread the Honey Butter: Take about a tablespoon of the prepared honey butter mixture and spread it evenly over the surface of each triangle of dough. Be sure to leave the tip of the triangle clear for rolling.

          Roll the Crescents: Starting from the wider end of each triangle, carefully roll the dough towards the pointed end, forming a crescent shape. Place each rolled crescent on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there's some space between each for even baking.

            Egg Wash (Optional): If you prefer a shiny, golden finish, beat the egg in a small bowl and brush a thin layer over the surface of the rolled crescents using a pastry brush.

              Bake: Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake the crescent rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until they are puffed up and golden brown.

                Finish with Honey Butter: As soon as the rolls are out of the oven, generously brush them with any remaining honey butter mixture. For an extra sweet touch, drizzle a little more honey on top of each roll while they’re still warm.

                  Garnish (Optional): To add a hint of freshness and elegance, you can sprinkle finely chopped fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, over the rolls just before serving.

                    Serve Warm: Indulge in your delightful Honey Butter Crescent Rolls while they're warm, perfect for serving as a delicious side dish or a sweet snack.
