Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
How to Make Crispy Puff Pastry Swirls
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth it out and make it slightly larger.
- Brush the melted butter evenly over the surface of the pastry.
- In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered pastry.
- Starting from one edge, roll the pastry tightly into a log. Ensure it’s tight to create defined swirls.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1-inch pieces and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and milk. Brush the egg wash over the tops of each pastry swirl for a glossy finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure your puff pastry is cold but pliable before rolling out to maintain its flakiness.
- Use fresh cinnamon for the best flavor.
- Don’t skip the egg wash; it gives the swirls their beautiful golden color.
Easy Variations
- Chocolate Swirls: Add chocolate chips or a layer of Nutella before rolling for a decadent twist.
- Fruit and Cream Cheese: Spread a thin layer of cream cheese and add fresh berries or fruit preserves for a fruity filling.
- Nuts and Honey: Sprinkle chopped nuts and drizzle honey over the buttered pastry for a crunchy texture.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh whipped cream or a dollop of mascarpone cheese.
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast.
- Fresh fruit compote to enhance the flavors.
