Ingredients

400 g puff pastry
2 tablespoon softened butter
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C / 180°C fan oven / 395°F.
Roll your puff pastry out to a rectangle of about 30 * 40 cm. You can also buy ready rolled puff pastry to simplify the process. I recommend adding some flour to your table if you are rolling the pastry on your own to prevent it from sticking.
Spread softened, room temperature butter all over the puff pastry. It's important that the butter is completely soft, as the surface of the pastry has to be evenly covered.
Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl, and drizzle over the buttered pastry. Try to cover it evenly.
Roll the pastry starting at the short end. Try to roll it as tight as you can without putting too much pressure on the pastry.
Slice the pastry roll into 10 equal sized rings, then place them on a baking sheet.
Bake the cinnamon rolls in the oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the pastry has puffed up and is slightly golden.

Notes

You can store these cinnamon rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months. Thaw and reheat them quickly in the microwave for perfect, warm cinnamon rolls. You can also freeze raw cinnamon rolls without baking them. You can then later thaw them in the fridge overnight, and bake in the oven for fresh cinnamon rolls in the morning. A great alternative if you don’t necessarily want to make (and eat) 10 cinnamon rolls in one batch.
