Title: Easy Individual Nut Roll
Ingredients:
– 1 package store-bought puff pastry, thawed
– 1 cup mixed nuts (such as walnuts, pecans, and almonds), finely chopped
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 2 tablespoons butter, melted
– 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
– Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped nuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry into a large rectangle. Cut the pastry into equal-sized squares, depending on how many individual nut rolls you want to make.
4. Spoon a generous amount of the nut mixture onto the center of each pastry square, leaving space around the edges. Drizzle a little melted butter over the nut mixture on each square.
5. To shape the nut rolls, fold the corners of each square towards the center, creating a pinwheel shape with the nut filling peeking out slightly.
6. Place the shaped nut rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each roll with the beaten egg wash to give them a shiny, golden finish when baked.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the nut rolls are puffed and golden brown.
8. Once baked, remove the nut rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Before serving, dust the nut rolls with powdered sugar for a beautiful presentation and an extra touch of sweetness.
These Easy Individual Nut Rolls are best enjoyed warm, straight out of the oven, with a cup of your favorite hot beverage. The combination of flaky pastry and crunchy nuts with warm spices is simply irresistible. Make a batch of these delightful treats for your next gathering or as a special weekend treat for your family. They are sure to be a hit!
