Ingredients
Scale
Pastry
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Glaze
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the cinnamon rolls.
- Roll Out Pastry: Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to smooth and slightly widen it.
- Brush Butter: Evenly brush the melted butter over the entire surface of the puff pastry to help the sugar and cinnamon stick.
- Sprinkle Filling: Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the butter-coated pastry, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
- Roll and Slice: Carefully roll the pastry sheet tightly into a log, then cut it into 1-inch thick slices to form individual rolls.
- Bake: Arrange the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat, spacing them slightly apart. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the rolls puff up and are golden brown.
- Make Glaze: While the rolls bake, whisk together powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth to create a sweet glaze.
- Glaze and Serve: Once the rolls are warm from the oven, drizzle the glaze generously over the top and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Ensure puff pastry is properly thawed for easier rolling and better texture.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the log into slices to maintain their shape.
- You can substitute milk with any dairy-free alternative to make the glaze vegan-friendly.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle chopped nuts or raisins before rolling.
- Leftover cinnamon rolls can be stored in an airtight container and reheated briefly in the oven.
