Steps to Prepare Cinnamon Scrolls Using Puff Pastry

Here’s how you can prepare delicious sweet puff pastry scrolls.

Step One:

To prepare a shortcut delicious puff pastry roll, you first need to roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured working surface. Then proceed by spreading a thin layer of butter on the top.

Once done, sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on top of the butter layer. Then gently roll out the puff pastry and cut it into smaller pieces.

Key Notes:

But if you are running short on time, remove the frozen pastry from the box and let it rest for half an hour. You must never unroll the frozen puff pastry because it might break.
• After you have applied a layer of butter on the puff pastry sheet, start working quickly. It will stop the butter from melting too fast, stopping the layers from sticking together. If the butter melts before going to the oven, your pastry won’t get flaky.
• Always be gentle with the frosting, so the pastry does not break.
• Enhance the flavors by adding nuts, like almonds, pecans, pistachios, or walnuts. Sprinkling orange zest on cinnamon puff pastry will give a tangy taste to your pastry,
• If you don’t want to use butter but still want to make your pastry soft, use Nutella as a substitute. Add it on top of an easy puff pastry cinnamon roll to get a blast of flavors.
