Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
Filling
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Glaze
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the cinnamon rolls to a beautiful golden brown.
- Prepare the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet evenly to smooth out creases and prepare it for the filling.
- Butter the Pastry: Using a pastry brush, evenly coat the entire surface of the puff pastry with the melted butter to help the sugar and cinnamon stick and to create a rich flavor.
- Add the Filling: Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the buttered puff pastry surface, making sure to cover all areas for consistent flavor.
- Roll and Slice: Carefully roll up the puff pastry sheet tightly into a log shape. Then, slice the roll into 1-inch thick slices to form individual cinnamon rolls.
- Bake: Place the slices upright on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed up and golden brown.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth to make the glaze.
- Glaze and Serve: Once the cinnamon rolls are out of the oven and still warm, drizzle the glaze generously over the top before serving for a sweet finishing touch.
Notes
- Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed before rolling to prevent cracking.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the rolls for cleaner slices.
- For a richer glaze, substitute milk with cream or add vanilla extract to the glaze.
- Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
