Cinnamon Puff Pastry Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place a 12-cup standard muffin tin on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the 12 tablespoons butter and 1/3 cup brown sugar. Place 1 rounded tablespoon of the mixture in each of the 12 muffin cups. Distribute the pecans evenly among the 12 muffin cups on top of the butter and sugar mixture.
• Lightly flour a wooden board or stone surface. Unfold 1 sheet of puff pastry with the folds going left to right. Brush the whole sheet with the melted butter. Leaving a 1-inch border on the puff pastry, sprinkle each sheet with 1/3 cup of the brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cinnamon, and 1/2 cup of the raisins. Starting with the end nearest you, roll the pastry up snugly like a jelly roll around the filling, finishing the roll with the seam side down. Trim the ends of the roll about 1/2-inch and discard. Slice the roll in 6 equal pieces, each about 1 1/2 inches wide. Place each piece, spiral side up, in 6 of the muffin cups. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry to make 12 sticky buns.
• Bake for 30 minutes, until the sticky buns are golden to dark brown on top and firm to the touch. Be careful - they're hot! Allow to cool for 5 minutes only, invert the buns onto the parchment paper (ease the filling and pecans out onto the buns with a spoon) and cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place the bacon in a saute pan and bring to a medium-low heat. Add the olive oil and cook the bacon until brown and crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon to paper towels. Save the fat.
• Working with one sheet at a time, lay out the puff pastry on a clean dish towel. Brush the puff pastry with the reserved bacon fat, and then with some maple syrup, leaving a 1/2-inch border along the side furthest away from you. Combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle the brushed area liberally with cinnamon sugar. Top with half the crispy bacon and raisins.
• Beat together the egg with 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Brush the border with egg wash. Starting with the side closest to you, roll the puff pastry into a long log, using the towel to help you. Press firmly to close the log, arranging the seam on the bottom. Cut the log crosswise into 6 equal pieces. Repeat with the second sheet.
• Brush a 6 1/2-by-9-inch baking dish with the remaining bacon fat. Snuggle the 12 rolls into the baking dish. Brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining egg wash. Bake until the rolls are puffy and golden brown, about 25 minutes.
• For the glaze: Combine the powdered sugar, milk and a little bit of the remaining maple syrup in a small bowl until it reaches a frosting-like consistency, adding more milk if necessary. When the rolls come out of the oven, slather them with the glaze.
• You're on a roll!

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line large baking tray with baking parchment. Stir the cinnamon and sugar together in a small bowl. Unravel the puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture all over the top. Gently level the cinnamon sugar mixture with the back of a spoon so it covers the pastry almost completely, leaving a 1cm border on one of the short sides. Brush a little of the beaten egg over the exposed pastry border.
• Roll the pastry up in a tight log from the short side without the border. Gently press along the egg-washed border to seal, then slice into 12 equal rounds. Arrange the cinnamon rolls on the prepared baking tray, placing them up against each other so they're just touching. Brush the remaining beaten egg all over the tops and sides of the pastry, then bake for 15-18 mins until golden and risen. Leave to cool on the tray for 10-15 mins.
• Combine the icing sugar with 1½ tsp water in a small bowl until you have a thick icing that easily runs off the spoon. Drizzle this over the warm rolls, then immediately serve.
