Cinnamon puff pastry snails

i was defrosting the freezer and found some leftover store bought puff pastry dough, i thought cinnamon rolls might be nice with puff pastry???


for the cinnamon spread

60gr unsalted butter @ room temp.
2 table spoons of brown sugar
1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
zest of 1 orange
100gr raw sugar (crytal or dermarara sugar)

for the dough

2 sheets of puff pastry (about 10" x 16")

preheat oven at 400 F

zest orange, i used vegetable peeler and then sliced the peels into thin strands.


add zest and brown sugar to butter


mix well, either by hand (with spoon) or mixer. i mixed by hand since it was a small portion.


roll out 2 sheets of puff pastry slighly.


divide the cinnamon butter spread in 2 and spread evenly on both puff sheets. sprinkle both sheets with 50 gr of raw sugar. stack 1 sheet on top of the other.


cut puff pastry into 3/4" -1" strips and roll them in to snails. or sheets can be rolled into a log and cut into slices.


roll and coat each snail in the remaining raw sugar, place them on parchment lined baking sheet.


bake for about 20-25 minutes.
