Ingredients
Sweet Rolls
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 and ½ cups frozen Oregon blackberries, thawed
- 3 tablespoons softened butter
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Optional Icing
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Open the can of refrigerated crescent roll dough and carefully unroll it on a clean surface.
- Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the thawed Oregon blackberries, softened butter, sugar, and vanilla extract, gently mixing to evenly coat the berries and meld the flavors.
- Assemble the Rolls: Spread the blackberry mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough, making sure to cover the surface but leaving a small border at the edges.
- Roll and Slice: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the dough into a log shape, then slice into equal pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick, to form individual rolls.
- Cook in Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and place the rolls cut-side up in the skillet. Cover and cook for about 12-15 minutes or until the dough is cooked through and the bottoms are golden brown. You can also finish by covering and lowering heat to ensure even baking inside.
- Optional Icing: While the rolls cook or once they are done, prepare the icing by mixing powdered sugar with milk until smooth and drizzle it over the warm rolls for an extra sweet touch.
- Serve: Allow the sweet rolls to cool slightly in the skillet before serving warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use thawed blackberries to avoid excess moisture that might make the dough soggy.
- Adjust sugar based on the sweetness of the berries; reduce if using very sweet varieties.
- Ensure the skillet is not too hot to prevent burning the bottoms before the rolls cook through.
- Optional icing can be customized with a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest for added flavor.
- Serve these rolls warm for the best texture and taste.
