Ingredients

• 240 grams all-purpose flour
• 170 grams unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 120 milliliters whole milk
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 60 grams brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the milk while stirring gently until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead lightly 2-3 times, just enough to ensure it is cohesive.

Step 6

Roll the dough out into a rectangle approximately 1 cm thick.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon and brown sugar together.

Step 8

Brush the melted butter evenly over the surface of the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.

Step 9

Roll the dough up tightly from one long edge to the other to create a log. Slice the log into 8 equal pieces.

Step 10

Place the slices flat-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for expansion during baking.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and fragrant.

Step 12

Remove the cinnamon puffs from the oven and allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
