Description
Stunning home made Cinnamon Swirls.
🥐 Cinnamon Swirls are a delightful pastry made by rolling buttery dough with a sweet cinnamon-sugar filling, then slicing into spirals and baking until golden. They’re flaky, aromatic, and often finished with a drizzle of icing or a sprinkle of sugar for extra indulgence.
Here’s what makes them irresistible:
- Flaky Layers: Typically made with puff pastry or yeasted dough, giving them a light, crisp texture.
- Sweet-Spiced Filling: A blend of cinnamon, sugar (often brown or demerara), and butter creates a warm, comforting flavor.
- Golden Finish: Brushed with egg wash before baking for a glossy, bakery-style look.
- Versatile Toppings: Icing glaze, cinnamon sugar, or even cream cheese frosting can be added depending on your mood.
- Perfect Pairing: Ideal with coffee, tea, or as a brunch centerpiece.
They’re known by many names—cinnamon rolls, buns, or Danish—and have roots in Scandinavian baking traditions. Whether homemade or store-bought, they’re a cozy treat that never goes out of style.
