2 rolls Pillsbury crescent dough*

3 or 4 Tbsp. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla

TO PREPARE THE FILLING:
Beat egg with granulated sugar until fluffy. Add cream cheese, lemon juice and zest; beat until well combined.

TO ASSEMBLE AND BAKE:
Unroll crescent dough and place in the bottom of a rectangular Pyrex baking dish. Spoon filling on top. Unroll second can of dough and place on top.

Combine ingredients for the glaze. Glaze while hot. Serve warm or cool and cut into bars.

*"Pillsbury crescent rolls are distantly related to the croissant. Any flakey-buttery-style pastry dough ought to work. The dough is (very roughly) 1/4-inch thick and puffs somewhat as it's cooked." - Ken
