PUFF PASTRY CINNAMON SWIRLS
Steps:
- Preheat your oven to gas mark 4/180°C/350°F
- In a mixing bowl, mix the butter, light brown sugar and cinnamon together with a spoon until combined.
- Unroll the ready-made puff pastry and spread the cinnamon, butter and light brown sugar mixture evenly over all the pastry leaving a small 1cm gap around the surface. Roll your pastry like a swiss roll.
- With a sharp knife or a piece of string, cut the pastry approximately 2cm long.
- Place them on the baking tray and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Leave space in-between each cinnamon swirl as they do expand in the oven whilst baking.
- In a small bowl, mix the icing sugar and water together until well combined. Using a spoon or a piping bag, drizzle the icing over each homemade cinnamon swirl in a diagonal motion from top to bottom.

Steps:
- Mix the butter, caster and icing sugar, egg yolks and vanilla with a wooden spoon until creamy, then mix in the flour in 2 batches. Roll out to a 20 x 30cm rectangle on a sheet of baking parchment. Mix the demerara sugar with the cinnamon, sprinkle all over the dough, then gently roll over a rolling pin again to press the sugar in a little. Roll up from one of the 20cm sides using the parchment to help, wrap in the parchment and chill for 30 mins, or up to a day.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Thinly slice into about 20 biscuits, scatter with a pinch more sugar, then bake on baking sheets for 10-12 mins until golden.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This means using real butter, fresh milk, and high-quality cinnamon.
- Make sure the butter is cold and the dough is chilled before rolling it out. This will help prevent the butter from melting and the dough from becoming too sticky.
- Roll the dough out thinly so that the cinnamon filling is evenly distributed.
- Brush the dough with melted butter before sprinkling it with cinnamon sugar. This will help the cinnamon sugar stick to the dough.
- Bake the Danish in a preheated oven until the tops are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the Danish cool slightly before glazing them with confectioners' sugar. This will help the glaze set and prevent it from running off the Danish.

Cinnamon swirl Danish is a delicious and classic pastry that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky layers of pastry, sweet cinnamon filling, and creamy glaze, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try!
