Step 1: Make the cinnamon swirl filling
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons margarine
- 50g sugar
- 3-4 heaped teaspoons cinnamon powder (flavour to taste)
How to:
- Mix the margarine, sugar and cinnamon powder in a bowl until it is a smooth paste.
Step 2: Make the cinnamon swirls
Ingredients:
- 1 sheet of ready rolled puff pastry
How To:
- Firstly, line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Then, roll out the ready made puff pastry on a flat surface.
- Next, spread the cinnamon filling evenly on the pastry ensuring approximately 1cm is left free at each edge.
- Then, roll the pasty from the horizontal side pressing lightly at each roll.
- Next, cut the pastry into approximately 2cm blocks using a sharp knife.
- Finally, place the cinnamon swirls in a baking tray ensuring there is a gap between the pastries.
This will make approximately 9 cinnamon swirls.
Step 3: Bake the cinnamon swirls
How to:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and bake the cinnamon swirls for 18 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and puffy.
