Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
- 3/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg. Reserve 2 tablespoons of this mixture for later use.
- Stir the chopped pecans into the remaining sugar mixture until evenly coated.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate into individual triangles on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the pecan filling onto the widest end of each triangle. Roll up towards the narrow end.
- Bake rolls in the preheated oven for 8 minutes until they begin to set.
- Remove rolls from oven and brush each with the reserved 2 tablespoons of sugar mixture. Return to oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and, if desired, sprinkle additional chopped pecans on top before serving.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container.
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt to the filling mixture.
- These rolls are best enjoyed warm.
