Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (softened, not melted)

- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (freshly ground if possible)
- 0.5 sheet Puff Pastry Sheet (ready‑rolled, thawed if frozen)
- 1 large Egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Instructions
Make Cinnamon Butter
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir until a smooth, spreadable paste forms.
Time: PT5M
Prepare Puff Pastry
If using frozen puff pastry, let half a sheet thaw in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. Lightly flour a work surface and lay the half sheet flat.

Spread Cinnamon Butter
Evenly spread the cinnamon butter over the surface of the puff pastry, leaving a tiny border around the edges.
Time: PT2M
Fold and Cut Strips
Fold the pastry sheet in half (butter side together). Using a sharp knife, cut the folded pastry into long strips about 1‑inch wide.

Form Swirls
Take each strip, slice it in half lengthwise, then twist the two halves around each other. Roll the twisted strip into a tight coil and tuck the loose end underneath.

Prepare for Baking
Place the swirls on a parchment‑lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between them. Brush each swirl with the beaten egg and sprinkle a pinch of granulated sugar on top.
