Blueberry Pastry Delights

As the name of this recipe implies this pastry recipe is delightful.  Very rarely will you see me using “something in a can or a box”.  I almost always make everything from :”scratch”.  This was one exception and I admit, they were quite good and very quick and easy to make.  Go ahead … try some delight!  ENJOY!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup cream cheese
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 can crescent rolls
• 1 cup blueberries

Instructions

1. Begin by combining the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon in a small bowl.
2. Roll the crescent roll dough out and press the perforations together.
3. Slice the dough into 8 equal squares.
4. Top each square with a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture.
5. Pile the blueberries on top of the cream cheese.
6. Fold the corners of the dough into the middle and place each pastry on a baking stone.
7. Place in the oven at 375° for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.  (My oven took 11 minutes.)
