Sugar Crumb Crispies

This is the recipe for the new, delicious breakfast item we had on Saturday morning. Of course we found this on Pinterest, but credit goes to:

http://www.chef-in-training.com/2011/09/sugar-crumb-crispy.html

Thanks to her we have an awesome new goody on our menu :)

Sugar Crumb Crispies

1/4 cup butter *make sure butter is cold*

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 tsp cinnamon

dash of salt

1/2 cup flour

1 can Pillsbury Cresent Rolls

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F

Cut in butter to sugars, cinnamon, and salt and flour to form crumbs.

On an ungreased cookie sheet, separate crescent roll dough into 8 triangles. Sprinkle crumbs on top.

Bake at 400 degrees F for 8-12 minutes.

After they were cooked and cooled I cut them into smaller triangles but you can leave them big too!

GLAZE

1/2 cup powdered sugar *I like my glaze thicker, so if the glaze is too runny, just add more powdered sugar to get yours to the desired consistency.*

1 Tbsp. softened butter

1-1/4 tsp. vanilla

1 to 1-1/2 Tbsp. milk

Blend together and drizzle over Sugar Crumb Crispies

Enjoy!

Corn Dip

Well it seems that my friend & coworker's Corn Dip has become an SSR staple. Several of you have asked for the recipe, so here it is.

2 cans shoe peg corn
1 can Rotel tomatoes
1 sm can chopped green chiles

Drain all of these ingredients really well. Mix with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream & 1/2 cup mayonnaise. Refrigerate until serving. Serve with fritos or tortilla chips. Tastes good for several days.
