For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the syrup. Simply melt the butter in the saucepan and continue cooking until it turns a nutty brown color before adding the water and sugar. Feel free to experiment with different spices! A pinch of nutmeg or allspice would complement the cinnamon beautifully. If you don't have crescent rolls on hand, puff pastry can be used as a substitute. These dumplings are best served warm, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.
