Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 170 grams unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters whole milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 60 grams brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually pour in the milk while stirring gently until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead lightly 2-3 times, just enough to ensure it is cohesive.
Roll the dough out into a rectangle approximately 1 cm thick.
In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon and brown sugar together.
Brush the melted butter evenly over the surface of the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.
Roll the dough up tightly from one long edge to the other to create a log. Slice the log into 8 equal pieces.
Place the slices flat-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for expansion during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and fragrant.
Remove the cinnamon puffs from the oven and allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
