Instructions
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.
