Ingredients
For the cinnamon mixture
- 3 Tablespoons butter or ghee, softened (about 42g)
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (about 5g)
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar (about 12g)
For the rolls
- 1 sheet puff pastry, slightly thawed (about 250g)
- 1/4 cup toasted pistachios, finely chopped (about 30g)
- 1/4 cup toasted walnuts, finely chopped (about 30g)
- 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
- Honey to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a mini muffin tin and set it aside.
- In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar until it forms a smooth paste.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a clean surface until it's a bit larger than its original size. Spread the cinnamon mixture evenly over the surface of the pastry.
- Sprinkle the finely chopped pistachios and walnuts evenly across the cinnamon-coated puff pastry.
- Carefully roll the puff pastry onto itself to create a tight roll. Make sure the filling stays inside!
- Slice the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces.
- Brush the top of each piece with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Place each piece into the prepared mini muffin tin.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and puffed up.
- Drizzle honey or a simple syrup over the warm rolls before serving.
Notes
These rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. For a beautiful presentation, arrange them on a platter and drizzle additional honey on top. Pair with yogurt or vanilla ice cream for a delicious experience.
