Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Binding Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter (melted)
Garnish/Optional Ingredients:
(none specified in original recipe)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375°F (190°C) and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Spread the thawed puff pastry on a lightly dusted surface, ensuring an even rectangular shape.
- Generously coat the pastry surface with melted butter, creating a smooth and glossy layer.
- Mix cinnamon and sugar thoroughly in a small container, then distribute the mixture evenly across the buttered pastry.
- Carefully roll the pastry from the long edge, creating a tight, compact log with swirled filling inside.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 12 uniform pieces, maintaining consistent thickness.
- Arrange the swirls cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece for expansion.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes until the pastries turn golden brown and rise beautifully.
- Remove from the oven and let the cinnamon swirls rest for 5 minutes, allowing them to set and cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Swap butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free alternative that maintains the rich, flaky texture.
- Ensure puff pastry is completely thawed but still cold for optimal rise and crispy layers.
- Dust extra cinnamon sugar on warm swirls for an intense flavor boost and beautiful finishing touch.
- Use a serrated knife for clean, precise cuts through the rolled pastry without squishing the delicate layers.
