Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Rolls
- 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 ensure it is hot enough for baking the cinnamon rolls to a golden brown.
- Prepare puff pastry: On a floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to slightly expand it and create an even surface for the filling.
- Brush with butter: Evenly brush the melted butter over the entire surface of the puff pastry to add richness and help the sugar and cinnamon stick.
- Add sugar and cinnamon: Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the buttered puff pastry, then dust with cinnamon for that classic cinnamon roll flavor.
- Roll and slice: Carefully roll up the puff pastry tightly into a log shape. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 1-inch thick slices to create individual cinnamon rolls.
- Bake: Place the slices cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Make glaze: While the rolls bake, whisk together powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
- Glaze and serve: Once the cinnamon rolls are warm from the oven, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract to the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Use cold butter and a chilled puff pastry sheet for easier rolling and better puff.
- If you prefer, substitute milk with cream or a non-dairy alternative in the glaze.
- To make ahead, assemble the rolls and refrigerate until ready to bake.
- Ensure even slicing for uniform baking.
