Puff Pastry Cinnamon Swirls
Visualize this: warm, flaky pastry, swirling with sweet cinnamon goodness. Sounds dreamy, right? Let’s get those taste buds tingling and your apron on. Here’s what you’ll need!
Ingredients:
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (store-bought is just fine, no need to get all fancy)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (because who doesn’t love butter?)
- 1 egg (for an egg wash, to make it shiny and pretty)
- Optional: icing for drizzling (because icing makes everything better)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is crucial—don’t skip this step unless you want sad swirls.
- Roll out your puff pastry on a floured surface. It should be inching to about 1/8 inch thick. Don’t be shy, go all out!
- Brush the melted butter all over the surface of the pastry. Don’t skimp; it’s the glue that holds our magic together!
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this heavenly mixture evenly over the pastry. Let it rain cinnamon sugar—you can never have too much!
- Starting from one edge, roll the pastry tightly into a log. Try to keep it even, but if it looks more like a lopsided cylinder, trust us, it’ll still be scrumptious!
- Slice the log into 1-inch pieces (you should get around 10-12 rolls). Place these on a parchment-lined baking sheet, giving them some room to puff up and party!
- Whisk the egg and brush it over the tops of the swirls for that extra shine and golden brown goodness. Shine on!
- Pop those beauties into the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden and delicious. Your house will smell like a bakery, and you should probably be prepared for neighbors to come knocking!
- If you fancy, drizzle some icing on top after they cool just a tad. Or, let’s be real, drown them in icing if you prefer to live life on the edge.
Enjoy your creation while basking in the glory of your culinary skills. Everyone will think you’re a pastry prodigy, and you’ll just smile like you have a secret. Happy baking!
