Ingredients for 12 Sweet Puff Pastry Bows
- 1 sheet puff pastry (rectangular)
- 1 oz brown sugar (+ extra for sprinkling)
- Half teaspoon ground cinnamon
Tools
- 1 Small Bowl
- Rolling Pin
- 1 Baking Sheet
Preparation of Sweet Puff Pastry Bows
Unroll the rectangle of puff pastry, keeping it on the sheet of parchment paper provided in the package; then gently roll over it with the rolling pin to remove any imperfections.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar with half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon. In fact, you can adjust this spice according to your personal taste.
Spread this sweet mixture over the entire surface of the rectangle and roll over it again with the rolling pin to adhere it well to the pastry.
At this point, roll the rectangle starting from both short sides until you join the two rolls in the center.
Overlap the right roll over the left one to form a single roll and trim the two ends to even them perfectly.
Now cut 12 pieces as shown in the photo.
Take each piece and make a cut without touching the whole end of the pastry: you will notice, in fact, that each piece has a whole part and a double part. The cut should be made leaving the whole part intact. I assure you that it’s easier done than said.
At this point, open the two ends bringing the whole part of the pastry to the center. Flatten slightly with your fingers and shape the wings to form a butterfly.
Place the puff pastry bows on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and sprinkle them with additional brown sugar.
Bake the puff pastry bows in a preheated static oven at 350°F for about 25 minutes or until they are golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before enjoying. Enjoy! Paola
