Ingredients
For the Cinnamon Swirls
- 1 packet rolled puff pastry
- 55 g (¼ cup) unsalted butter softened
- 3 tbsp light soft brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- pinch salt
- 1 small egg lightly beaten, to brush on pastries
- 2 tbsp pearl sugar (optional)
Glaze
- 65 g (½ cup) icing sugar (powdered sugar)
- 1 tbsp water or lemon juice , or as needed
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°c (375°F).
- Mix the softened butter, sugar, cinnamon and salt until you have a soft spreadable paste.
- Unroll the puff pastry keeping it on the paper it came wrapped in.
- Gently spread the filling over the pastry in an even thin layer, leaving a small gap on one end. Brush the edge with a little beaten egg and press to seal.
- Roll the pastry, starting from shortest edge, using the paper to help you, into a log.
- Slice the log into nine equal pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss (unflavoured!).
- Place slightly apart on baking paper (or a reusable liner) and flatten slightly. Brush with the egg wash and sprinkle with pear sugar, if using.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cinnamon swirls are golden.
- Mix the ingredients for the glaze together and drizzle over the cinnamon swirls. Serve slightly warm.
