Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Muffin Tin Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin to ready it for the pastry swirls.
- Prepare the Puff Pastry Roll out each sheet of thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Ensure it is even to avoid uneven baking.
- Add the Sweet Layers Brush each sheet generously with the melted butter, covering all areas. Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly across the buttered surface, and add cinnamon if using, to create your sweet filling.
- Roll and Cut the Pastry Carefully roll each sheet into a log. Using a sharp knife, slice each log into 4-6 pieces, depending on your preferred size.
- Bake Place the sliced pieces spiral-side up in the greased muffin tin. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden and puffed.
- Cooling and Serving Allow the swirls to cool slightly in the tin before removing them. Dust them with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
