Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry (ready-to-roll)
- 50 grams unsalted butter (softened)
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 30 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the puff pastry sheet onto a clean, lightly floured surface.
In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until a smooth paste forms.
Spread the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly across the surface of the puff pastry sheet, making sure it reaches the edges.
Roll the pastry tightly from one long side to the other, creating a log shape.
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 12 even pieces, approximately 2 cm thick each.
Arrange the slices cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece as they will expand during baking.
Brush the tops of the slices lightly with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the whirls are puffed and golden brown.
While the cinnamon whirls cool slightly, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon whirls for a sweet finishing touch.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your homemade cinnamon whirls!
