Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 pack of croissant dough, puff pastry, or yeast dough (about 1 sheet)
- 80-100g softened butter
- 80g brown sugar
- 3 tsp ground cinnamon
- A little milk for brushing
Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
- Assemble the Rolls: Roll out your pre-made dough on a flat surface. Spread the cinnamon-sugar butter mixture evenly over one half of the dough. Fold the other half of the dough over the top, gently pressing down to seal the layers together.
- Shape the Rolls: Cut the dough into 10 strips. Roll each strip into a spiral and place it in a greased muffin tin (you can use muffin liners if you prefer). Brush the tops of the rolls with a little milk to help them brown nicely during baking.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the cinnamon rolls for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
- Serve Warm: Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool for a few minutes in the muffin tin before serving. These rolls are best enjoyed warm for that perfect soft, gooey texture.
These Quick Cinnamon Rolls are the perfect solution for a spontaneous, delicious treat. Serve them fresh from the oven and enjoy their warm, comforting sweetness!
