Quickie #2 Cinnamon Sugar Bites


Just when you and I thought the puff pastry madness is over after that Nutella, My Quickie and Breakfast Quiche.

It's not. Hah!

Was browsing through the web for a moist fudgy chocolate cake recipe but guess what was strolling down on my Facebook newsfeed, cinnamon palmiers!

I checked it out, and my gosh it's so eeeeasy.

Plus I had some leftover instant pastry sheets sitting in the freezer and it's taking up space. :p Excuses, I know.

Recipe adapted from a Mama herself at 365 Days of Baking.

Ingredients
Mini pastry sheets (4 x 4 inches)
1 Tsp of Cinnamon
5 Tbsps of Sugar (I used brown sugar)

Notes
You can change the ratio of cinnamon and sugar depending on your sugar & spice preference.

To make larger palmiers, use a bigger pastry sheet and adjust the ingredients accordingly :)


Method
Step 1
Thaw the instant puff pastry sheet.
Can I just say I really dislike the word 'instant' when in comes to food BUT this mama wants her dessert and needs it to be done fast. Heee.

Step 2
Mix the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.

Step 3
Drizzle, spread or smother the mixture onto that pastry sheet!

Step 4
Roll em'.
Yes I'm making two. Heh

Step 5
Wrap it in a cling film and pop it in the fridge for about half an hour or so. Just so it'll be easier to work with the rolls.
I skipped this step cause I couldn't wait.

Step 6
Slice em'.

Step 7
Bake em' rolls for about 6 minutes, turn the tray, another 5 minutes or till golden brown.
