Using Puff Pastry For Cinnamon Rolls
I love this little semi-homemade trick! It's easy to do, fun for kids to help with and the texture is actually out of this world.
Puff pastry get light and flakey, not like a traditional yeast cinnamon roll, the edges get crispy and light!
It's a great way to have cinnamon rolls in 15 minutes flat.
What You Need
- Air Fryer - I love my As Seen On Tv air fryer. It's economical and has served me well!
- 1 sheet Puff Pastry
- Brown Sugar
- Cinnamon
- Butter
- Powdered Sugar
Tips and Tricks
- Its important to not crowd the air fryer with the cinnamon rolls. Space them out evenly!
- Roll your puff pastry as tight as you can! Since they are small they have a tendency to unravel a bit. However, even if they do, no biggie!
- Please don't pour the icing onto them while still in the air fryer, you will be sad during clean up if you do this! ha!
- Before trying to unroll then roll the puff pastry into cinnamon rolls, give it 10 minutes to soften up a bit after removing from the freezer.
- If you put the frosting on them, it's best to eat them right away. Store them in an air tight container and add frosting right before eating.
