Ingredients
- 1 ready-rolled sheet puff pastry about 275 g/ 10 oz (Notes 1 and 2)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter soft
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar divided (white sugar is fine as well)
- 30 g/ 1 oz/ ¼ cup chopped walnuts
- 30 g/ 1 oz/ ¼ cup icing sugar Note 3
- ½ to 1 tablespoon milk or water as needed
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/ 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a small baking dish with parchment paper.
- Unroll the pastry. If using unrolled pastry, roll a rectangle of about 25 cm/ 9.8 inches long, a little more or less is OK.
- Smear the pastry with the soft butter.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of the sugar. Sprinkle over the pastry and top with the walnuts.
- Roll up tightly into a cylinder.
- Sprinkle 2 more tablespoons of sugar on the working surface. Carefully roll the cylinder in the sugar (optional step).
- Cut into 6 rolls. Place them into the baking dish and bake for about 15-20 minutes until puffed and golden. Let cool for 10 minutes before icing.
- To make the icing, mix together the icing sugar, water or milk, and vanilla extract. Use enough liquid to get a thick yet pourable sugar paste.
- Drizzle over the hot cinnamon rolls.

Notes
- You can easily double the recipe.
- Frozen puff pastry can be used instead, thaw according to the package instructions, and roll, if not already rolled.
- This makes a small amount of icing, we find that enough. However, if you like a thicker icing, just double the ingredients.
