National Cinnamon Crescent Day

National Cinnamon Crescent Day is on April 10th in the United States.

Cinnamon crescents are a type of sweet pastry roll. They are a fairly simple pastry to make, as they can be done by simply adding cinnamon, a spice, to the dough before cooking. The rolls would then be glazed after being cooked, and cinnamon can also be added to the glaze by combining it with powdered sugar and dusting it over the wet glaze, which could be butter.

These pastries would be crescent shaped when made, hence the name, although other shapes could also be made. Cinnamon does not need to be the only thing added to the dough; different recipes could add different items, such as chopped nuts and chopped fruit.
