Cinnamon Danish Swirls

Freshly baked pastry in the morning that infuses your home with the irresistible warm smell of cinnamon, chocolate and buttery pastry anyone? I love this recipe. I often get unexpected guests that stay over or arrive unexpectedly on a Sunday morning and tea and biscuits just will not do.

The beauty of this recipe is that is that it s unapologetically simple with ingredients that can be found in your local express supermarket. Nothing can compare to freshly baked pastry for breakfast and as this recipes is so simple you can treat your loved one to this delightful treat on a lazy Sunday morning, imagine their face light up with gratitude.

Ingredients: 

1 packet rolled puff pastry
30 grams of butter, melted
2 tablespoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons of brown sugar
50 grams of chocolate chips (half a packet)

Method: 

Take out your puff pastry and allow it to come to room temperature (this should take approximately 15 minutes). Preheat your oven to 220°c.

Unroll the pastry on to baking paper and brush the melted butter on to surface. Sprinkle the cinnamon from a height so is evenly distributed, you should be able see the pastry under the cinnamon, then spread the sugar so the cinnamon is coated and place the chocolate chips onto the pastry.

Carefully roll the pastry into roll and cut into 1 inch thick piece, if the roll starts to spread gently press the swirl back in. Brush the remaining melted butter onto swirls, this will provide a beautiful golden colour once baked. Place the the pieces on to a baking tray line with baking paper and bake for 15mins or until golden brown.

P.S you can also use raisins instead of chocolate chips.
