Mini Cinnamon Roll Cereal

From Nicole Iizuka, POPSUGAR Food

Ingredients

1. 1 can Pillsbury crescent dough sheet
   3/4 cup granulated sugar
   1/4 cup cinnamon
   Flour for dusting
   2 tablespoons butter, melted
   Milk

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375ºF, and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, mix together cinnamon and sugar.
3. Open can of crescent dough, and cut off approximately 1 tablespoon of dough. Roll it into a ball the size of a walnut, and set aside. Repeat with remaining dough.
4. Lightly dust your work surface with flour, and roll the dough out into 4-inch disks. Brush the top of each disk with melted butter, then sprinkle approximately 1 teaspoon of cinnamon sugar on top of the dough evenly. Carefully roll the dough into a log, pressing down slightly to seal.
5. Use a sharp knife to slice into small rounds. If the tiny rolls are slightly misshaped, gently press them back into a round. Lay the disks on the baking sheet a 1/4-inch apart, and continue until you've filled 2 baking sheets.
6. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the tops are slightly golden brown and cooked through. Let cool, then remove from the baking sheet.
7. Pour into a bowl, and top with milk. Enjoy!
