Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Muffin Tin Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin with butter or a non-stick spray to ensure that the swirls do not stick to the pan after baking.
- Step 2: Prepare the Puff Pastry Lay out each sheet of thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Using a pastry brush, apply a generous amount of melted butter across the surface of each sheet.
- Step 3: Add Sugar and Optional Cinnamon Sprinkle granulated sugar evenly over the buttered pastry. If you desire a hint of spice, scatter cinnamon over the sugar. This adds a warm, aromatic flavor that enhances the sweetness.
- Step 4: Roll and Slice the Pastry Carefully roll each sheet into a tight log. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 4-6 even pieces, depending on your preferred size of swirls.
- Step 5: Bake the Swirls Place the slices spiral-side up in the prepared muffin tin. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and puff up.
- Step 6: Cooling and Serving Allow the swirls to cool slightly in the pan before removing them. Dust them with powdered sugar for a sweet, decorative finish before serving.
