Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed

Filling

  • 0.1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Egg Wash & Topping

  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 0.2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  • On a lightly floured surface, gently unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet. You should have a large rectangle.
  • In a small bowl, combine the 0.1 cup of granulated sugar and the ground cinnamon for the filling. Mix well.
  • Brush the entire surface of the puff pastry with the beaten egg.
  • Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the egg-washed pastry. Press down gently to help it adhere.
  • Starting from one of the longer sides, tightly roll up the puff pastry into a log.
  • Cut the roll into 12 equal pieces, about 0.75 inches thick.
  • Place each piece, cut-side up, into the prepared muffin tin cups. The swirls will unfurl as they bake.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  • While the cruffins are baking, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter and mix it with the 0.2 cup of granulated sugar for the topping. Stir until combined.
  • Once baked, remove the cruffins from the oven. While still warm, brush the tops generously with the melted butter and sugar mixture.
  • Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

For extra sweetness, you can add a drizzle of icing or a dusting of powdered sugar after cooling.
