Easy Rosca De Reyes Buns

Author Paula Bendfeldt-Diaz

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 3 tubes Pillsbury crescent rolls
  • sugar
  • candied fruit
  • 1 egg
  • sliced almonds
  • 2 tablespoons orange rind
  • 1   cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon
  • 1 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350℉. Lightly coat muffin pan with cooking spray; set aside.
  2. Open a can of rolls, spread it out on a cutting board, and split it into triangles.
  3. Sprinkle with sugar and orange rind.
  4. Place candied fruit along the short side of the triangle. Roll the dough over the fruit  and keep rolling toward the tip of the triangle. Tuck the ends in to make a bun and place in the muffin pan. Repeat with remaining crescent dough.
  5. Add two tablespoons of water to the egg and mix well to create an egg wash. Brush egg wash on the dough and decorate with almonds and candied fruit.
  6. Bake for 15-17 minutes, until golden. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.
  7. When cool make icing by combining powdered sugar, lemon juice, and water to make a smooth icing which you can drizzle over the Rosca de Reyes muffins.
  8. The kids can not wait until they get their presents from Melchor, Gaspar and Balthazar and we will leave a Rosca de Reyes bun for each of the Magi as well as mild and some grass for the camels.
