PECAN CINNAMON ROLLS WITH PUFF PASTRY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• If frozen, thaw Puff Pastry - sit out to thaw for 20 minutes.
• Roll or fold the Puff Pastry out on a lightly floured surface.
• Spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter out onto each sheet.
• Next, spread half of the 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar onto each sheet.
• Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of cinnamon onto each sheet.
• Roll the sheets into long rolls, then cut them each in to 6 even pieces.
• Create the schmear by creaming together 12 tablespoons of butter, salt and 1/2 cup of brown sugar.
• Scoop a tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each cup of a large muffin pan.
• Put 4-5 pecans on top of the schmear mixture, pressing it down.
• Put a slice of the cinnamon roll, spiral side up, in each muffin cup.
• Place the muffin tin on a baking sheet - just in case they will bubble over in the oven.
• Bake for 25-27 minutes, until puffed and golden.
• Let them cool in the muffin pan for 2 minutes - only!
• Place another sheet pan on top, and invert them, removing the muffin pan.
