We all know that churros in their natural state are very delicious.

But, what if you could get the crispy goodness of a churro in the form of a cinnamon bun?

You can! Here's what you'll need to make them.

You’ll need 2 packages of crescent dough, 1 stick unsalted butter, ¼ cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Note! That is 2 packages, not 1.

Preheat an oven to 350º F and brush a 9-inch cake pan with melted butter. Whisk the sugar and cinnamon together.

Unroll the dough on a floured surface.

Melt the butter, then brush it liberally on the dough.

Place the rolls swirl-side up in the pan.

Leave some space between them. Brush with butter and sprinkle with the remaining 1/3 of the cinnamon sugar. They will spread as they bake.

Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and puffed up.

Pull apart and enjoy the flaky goodness.

The original recipe omitted the last 1/3 of the sugar. The post has been updated to reflect this change.
