Sweet simplicity with cinnamon flair, because sometimes, the simplest ingredients create the most memorable dishes. These classic puff pastry treats are made with just a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar (and optional pecans), then rolled, sliced, and baked to crispy, caramelized perfection.

Presentation Tip: Dust with powdered sugar or serve with a side of fruit compote for a modern dessert offering.

Keep It Cold:
Always thaw pastry properly in the refrigerator or at room temp (about 30 minutes). Work with chilled dough for the flakiest results.

Mind Your Fillings:
Moisture is the enemy of puff. Use well-drained, cooked vegetables and thick fillings. Avoid anything too watery, think roasted instead of steamed.

Don’t Skip the Bake:
Preheat to 375°F–400°F and bake until golden brown. Adjust for size and filling, but don’t underbake, those flaky layers need time to rise.

Add a Finishing Touch:
From dipping sauces to brushed glazes, a small flourish can enhance both presentation and flavor appeal.
