Description
A cozy and comforting recipe for bite-sized flaky pastries, perfect for breakfast or as a snack.
Ingredients
- 2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional: 1/4 cup sliced almonds or chopped hazelnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and gently press to remove creases.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the pastry into 1-inch squares. For tiny croissant shapes, cut triangles and roll them slightly.
- Place the pieces on the prepared sheets with a little space between each.
- In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and sea salt.
- Brush each piece lightly with the beaten egg, then with melted butter.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mix evenly over all pieces. Scatter sliced almonds if using.
- Bake for 10–14 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through, until pieces are puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a rack.
- Pour into a large bowl and serve with milk, yogurt, or enjoy plain.
Notes
For a richer finish, brush extra butter on top before baking. Keep everything cold for best results.
