Quick and easy puff pastry cinnamon rolls made with six simple ingredients, baked to golden perfection and drizzled with caramel sauce.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 g/18 oz pre-made puff pastry
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 100 g/1/2 cup Demerara or Turbinado sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 4 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp mixed spice (optional)
  • 65 g/1/4 cup store-bought caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  2. Brush the puff pastry evenly with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  3. Sprinkle the surface generously with 100g Demerara or Turbinado sugar, 4 teaspoons cinnamon, and 2 teaspoons mixed spice (if using).
  4. Roll the pastry tightly from the narrow end to form a log.
  5. Cut the rolled pastry into 12 equal slices by cutting in halves, then quarters, then thirds to ensure even pieces.
  6. Arrange the slices on a buttered baking dish leaving about 1/2 inch spacing between each to allow for puffing; optionally, line the dish with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  7. Chill the arranged rolls in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to help layers stay separate during baking.
  8. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven and drizzle with caramel sauce before serving while warm.

Notes

Use puff pastry made with real butter for best flaky and flavorful results., Let puff pastry sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before working with it so it becomes flexible but not sticky., Leave about 1/2 inch space between rolls during baking to prevent sticking and allow proper puffing., Caramel sauce can be substituted with sugar glaze or cream cheese frosting as alternative toppings., These rolls are best enjoyed fresh and warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week and reheated for freshness.
