Ingredients

  • 8 slices of puff pastry
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1/2 cup of honey
  • 2 cups of whipped cream
  • Ground cinnamon for garnish

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Saucepan
  • Mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Fork
  • Parchment paper
  • Baking dish

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lay out the slices of puff pastry on a floured surface and roll each one out to a rectangular shape.
  3. Place each pastry rectangle onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and prick each one with a fork.
  4. Bake the pastry in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. While the pastry is baking, prepare the syrup by combining the sugar, water, and cinnamon stick in a saucepan over medium heat.
  6. Stir the mixture until the sugar has dissolved, then bring it to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
  7. Remove the cinnamon stick from the syrup and stir in the honey. Set the syrup aside to cool.
  8. Once the pastry has cooled, spread a thin layer of whipped cream over each slice.
  9. Roll up each slice of pastry tightly to form a cylinder shape.
  10. Place the rolled pastries in a baking dish and pour the cooled syrup over them.
  11. Allow the pastries to soak up the syrup for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  12. To serve, cut each pastry into 1-inch slices and sprinkle with ground cinnamon for garnish.

Tips and Tricks

Make sure to prick the pastry with a fork before baking to prevent it from puffing up too much.
Roll up the pastries tightly to prevent the syrup from seeping out.
Allow enough time for the pastries to soak up the syrup in the refrigerator for the best flavor.
