Recipe: Pillsbury Lemon Honey Buns (using crescent dinner roll dough)

PILLSBURY HONEY LEMON BUNS

1 (3 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup coconut plus additional for garnish (optional)
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 (8 oz) can Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner roll dough
FOR THE GLAZE:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon butter or margarine, softened
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a cookie sheet.

In small bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, coconut (if using), honey and lemon juice with wooden spoon until smooth; set aside.

Unroll the crescent roll dough unto work surface and separate into 2 large rectangles. Overlap long sides to form 13x7-inch rectangle; firmly press edges and perforations to seal.

Spread cream cheese mixture on rectangle. Starting with 1 long side, roll up; press edge to seal. With serrated knife, cut into 12 slices. (If filled roll of dough is too soft when slicing, place in refrigerator about 15 minutes or until firm.) Place cut side down on cookie sheet.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

In small bowl, mix glaze ingredients. Spread on warm rolls. Sprinkle with coconut, if desired. Cover and refrigerate any remaining rolls.

Makes 12 rolls
