Delicious, butter-y pastries!

Defrost the pastry for 45 minutes.  Add sugar to small bowl.

Add cinnamon with sugar.

Put some flour on a piece of parchment paper.

Place thawed puff pastry on parchment paper (lines vertical) and dust with flour.

Place another piece of parchment paper on the dough and roll out the creases.

Sprinkle the top of the dough with cinnamon sugar and replace the other piece of parchment paper.  Roll the dough to press in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Flip over the dough (I used pans to help me with this), and take off the top sheet of parchment paper.

Sprinkle this side with the cinnamon sugar also.

Again, roll with parchment paper to press the sugar into the dough.

Make a thin indentation with a dull knife horizontally in the center of the dough.

Roll up the dough to the center.  Freeze until ready.

Repeat with other dough.

Once done with 2nd dough, put it in the freezer, then get out the 1st, then cut into 1 inch pieces.

Put on pan covered with parchment paper, or pan covered with aluminum foil, sprayed with non-stick spray, roll-side up and bake for 14 minutes in a 400 degree oven.

After 14 minutes, turn them over and bake for 5 more minutes.

Delicious!!
