Flaky Cinnamon Swirls (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1/3 cup granulated sugar.
02 - 1 sheet of thawed puff pastry (24cm square).
03 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.

# Instructions:

01 - Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a small dish.
02 - Flip the pastry over and cover it with the sugar mix. Roll it to press the coating in.
03 - Coat the first side of the pastry with 2 tablespoons of the sugar mix. Use the rolling pin to set it in place.
04 - Take the long edges and fold them toward the center. Flatten it out with a rolling pin.
05 - Bring the folded edges into the middle. Flatten once more and sprinkle whatever sugar mix is still left.
06 - Fold it in half so there are six layers. Pop into the fridge for about 15 minutes to firm up.
07 - Turn on oven to 400°F. Slice the chilled pastry into 1cm wide strips.
08 - Dip the cut sides in the leftover sugar mix. Set each piece on a tray lined with parchment, keeping them 2 inches apart.
09 - Pop in the oven for 14 minutes; flip them, and bake 4 more minutes till golden brown.
10 - Let them cool completely on a parchment-lined rack before handling.

# Notes:

01 - Put parchment paper on the rack to avoid sticking.
02 - Tastes best fresh on the day it's made.
03 - Let them cool all the way before storing.
