Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well.
  • Lightly flour a clean surface. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet and place it on the floured surface.
  • Brush the entire surface of the puff pastry with the melted butter.
  • Evenly sprinkle about half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered puff pastry. Gently press it in with your hands or a rolling pin.
  • Starting from one of the longer sides, tightly roll up the puff pastry into a log.
  • Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 12 equal pinwheels, about 0.5 inch thick.
  • Place the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the tops of the pinwheels.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
  • Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

These are best enjoyed fresh. You can also make a simple glaze by mixing powdered sugar with a little milk or lemon juice to drizzle over them once cooled.
