Easy Jelly Filled Pastry

I just had some of these today...very yummy. They were a creation of my grandchildrens father, Nick Aguilar.

NEED:
1 eight count can of crescent rolls
Jelly of your choice

separate the rolls and with your fingertips spread the dough out a bit..like stretching pizza dough. Place a teaspoon of jelly in the center and fold the sides up..make sort of a round-ish shape. Place on cook sheet, seam side down and bake as directed on the package.


VARIATIONS:
You can sprinkle with powdered sugar
or
take: 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
heat over a low heat until sugar dissolves..let boil, slightly, to thicken. Let cool for one minute and then drizzle over the rolls before baking.
or
make the butter, brown sugar glaze and add chopped nuts and top rolls before baking.
To keep the nuts crunchy, toast in the oven (350 degrees) for no longer than 10 minutes. Let cool slightly and add to the butter, sugar mixture.

You can also use cream cheese instead of the jelly.

ENJOY!
