Course: Dessert
Keyword: Sweet treat, Vegan Baking, Weekend baking
Servings: 12 Cinnamon Swirls

Ingredients

  • 1 packet of pre-rolled puff pastry 
  • 3 tbsp caster sugar 
  • 1.5 tbsp ground cinnamon 
  • 50g icing sugar 
  • 2 tbsp soya milk 

Instructions

  • Take the puff pastry out of the fridge around 10 minutes before starting so it can get to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 180C or 160C fan. 
  • Stir the ground cinnamon and sugar together then unravel the pastry and spread the spiced sugar evenly all over the top. Leave one short edge with a 1cm border without the sugar. 
  • Brush a little milk on the border then, on the opposite (short) side, start rolling the pastry into a neat sausage shape. Gently press the edge with your fingers to seal the roll. 
  • Slice into 12 even rounds and place onto a lined baking tray. (I use the baking paper the pastry comes in.) Brush the swirls with a little milk before placing in the pre-heated oven. Bake for 20 minutes or until the cinnamon swirls are golden brown and cooked all the way through.  
  • Sift the icing sugar into a bowl then stir through 1 tsp of soya milk adding a little at a time until you get a thick, pourable consistency. 
  • Once the swirls are ready, drizzle the icing sugar all over with a fork, then serve.
