Scale:

Ingredients

2 boxes Pepperidge Farms puff pastry sheets (4 sheets total), thawed overnight

1 cup raisins

All-purpose flour to dust the counter

2 whole eggs, beaten

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

3/4 cup powdered sugar

4 teaspoons milk or cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F with two racks about top third and bottom third of oven.

Line two sheet trays with parchment paper

If you haven’t already, thaw the four sheets of puff pastry and once thawed, unfold.

Place raisins in a microwave safe bowl, cover with water and microwave for one minute. Cover the bowl with a plate and let sit while you work on the rolls.

Flour the counter and lay the sheets out 2×2 per the picture below.

 

Brush the edges and press the four pieces together to make one large square sheet.

Brush egg over the entire surface, saving a little bit of the beaten egg to brush after they are rolled and cut.

Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl and sprinkle over the entire surface, leaving one inch on one end with just the brushed egg showing.

Drain and squeeze out the water from the raisins and sprinkle over the surface.

Start rolling from the opposite end of the brushed egg edge into a tight roll all the way, ending on the brushed egg edge. Push the roll over so it rests seam side down.

Cut in half and in half again. Then cut each piece in half and half again yielding 16 pieces.

Place eight on each prepared pan, cut side up, while shaping into a neat round shape. Press each one down just slightly then brush each one with the remaining egg.

Bake for 15 minutes, rotate and swap rack positions then bake for 10-15 minutes more or until lightly browned on top. Ours took 28 minutes exactly.

Remove to a cooling rack that is sitting over a parchment covered sheet tray.

In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, vanilla and milk and drizzle over the cooled rolls and serve.
