Quick and Easy Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

This is a really easy recipe. Roll out the puff pastry onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. 

In a bowl, mix the caster sugar and cinnamon well. Now pour your cinnamon mix onto the pastry, completely covering the surface except for a strip roughly half an inch wide all the way down one short end of the pastry. 

Next brush the uncovered strip of pastry with egg yolk. Make sure the cinnamon sugar mixture is evenly spread out. 

Now tightly roll the pastry into a log, from the short end, all the way to the end with the egg yolk, press down gently on this end to seal. 

Now cut the log into 12 circles, and place on the tray face up.

 Brush the circles with the remaining egg yolk. 

Place the tray into a fan oven at 180 degrees, for roughly 10/15 minutes, just keep an eye on them, once the pastry has puffed up and is golden brown, they are ready. Remove them from the oven and allow to cool for 10/15 minutes.

In a small bowl, add the icing sugar, lemon juice, a small drop of water, and mix until it becomes loose enough to pour. It should be the consistency of melted chocolate. Add more water if it’s too thick, or more icing sugar if it’s too thin.

Remove the cooled cinnamon rolls from the tray, and place them on a platter, then spoon your icing over each one to decorate. Allow people to help themselves, and enjoy!
