In pastry shops all over Europe you can find these delicate, crisp pastries that are rolled in cinnamon and sugar. Now they're easy to make at home. Hooray!

What You'll Need

  • 2 frozen puff pastry sheets (from a 17 ¼-ounce package), slightly thawed
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 egg, beaten

What to Do

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
     
  2. On a lightly floured surface, with a rolling pin, roll out each pastry sheet to 12- x 12-inches.
     
  3. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar. Brush pastry sheets with beaten egg and sprinkle 3 tablespoons of cinnamon mixture evenly over top of each sheet.
     
  4. Roll one side of pastry sheet into middle then roll other side to meet it in middle, forming a scroll. Cut 1/2-inch slices across scrolls.
     
  5. Dip one cut side into cinnamon mixture and lay sugared-side up on prepared baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes then let cool for 5 minutes.
