Ingredients
▢
1
pound
Bacon
▢
1
Crescent rolls
-
8 ct
▢
½
cup
Maple syrup
▢
¾
cup
Brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Place bacon on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until right before it gets crispy. (It will bake a while longer, later).
Remove from oven and drain on paper towels and chop into large pieces.
Turn oven to 325 degrees.
Line another rimmed baking sheet with foil and liberally spray with cooking spray.
Unroll the crescent rolls onto the baking sheet being careful not to separate any. You want a single rectangle of dough.
Pinch any perforations together to seal and stretch the dough so it forms an even rectangle.
Use a fork to prick holes all over the dough.
Drizzle 1/4 cup of maple syrup on top of the crescent dough.
Sprinkle ¼ cup of the brown sugar on top of the syrup.
Top with chopped bacon.
Drizzle remaining maple syrup on top of the bacon and top with the remaining brown sugar.
Bake for about 25 minutes at 325 degrees.
Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting into bite sized pieces.
Notes
Nuts:
After baking, sprinkle with chopped pecans or other nuts.
Red Pepper:
To make this pastry spicy, add some red pepper flakes or a small amount of cayenne pepper.
