Easy Cinnamon Swirls Recipe Using Puff Pastry
Flaky, buttery and just so tasty; when I say these cinnamon swirls are delicious, I really do mean it! I’ll show you how to make them below! Let’s get baking…
Who doesn’t love puff pastry cinnamon swirls? It’s my idea of the perfect breakfast or snack, and it takes me only 30 minutes to make.
You can make your own pastry from scratch, but I like to use ready-made puff pastry (which is my type of lazy baking). Using pre-made pastry saves me time on making and chilling dough, which is always a plus when you want to eat something quick.
The taste of these Danish cinnamon swirls are sweet, cinnamony and utterly delicious. I think serving them with a hot cup of coffee should be mandatory (I’m slightly joking), this pairing tastes so good together and it’s such a delicious way to start the day!
I’ve been eating cinnamon swirls for as long as I can remember. As you can see from my pictures, I like to drizzle icing over them (like how they were sold back in the days). Am I the only one who’s noticed that they are sold without this extra delicacy now?!
Recipe Ingredients
Here are the 4 ingredients I use to make this recipe:
- Puff Pastry: A sheet of pastry that becomes buttery, light and flaky once baked. It’s widely available and can be found in the fridge section in many supermarkets.
- Cinnamon: A must! It provides a delicious cinnamon taste and is the star ingredient in the filling mixture.
- Butter: A great tip is to use butter at room temperature as it’s a lot easier to mix than butter straight from the fridge.
- Brown Sugar: I use light brown muscovado sugar; it creates a deep flavour and caramelises when baked in the oven.
- Icing Sugar: A signature cinnamon swirl is topped with icing drizzled across diagonally. All you need is icing sugar and water to make it. Though this addition is optional.
