I like a good ol’ Danish Pastry, I like Croissants too. Sometimes I just want to combine them and have something tasty, sweet and an epic partner for a steaming hot cup of coffee. These cheats Cinnamon and Raisin Croissants are super easy and even the laziest cook in the world can do them.
Ingredients:
Cinnamon
Butter
Jus-Rol Croissants
Raisins / Mixed Dry Fruit
Light Brown Sugar
Pop open your Jus-Rol croissants, in each one put a handful of raisins and loosely roll them up. I was ‘trying’ to fill a heart up, it didn’t work BUT they were amazing. Make sure you grease whatever tin you are using, I just used butter as you can see below. The reason I rolled them up so loosely was so they had extra room to spread out, really I could have done with two tubes of Jus-Rol pastry but it was a spur of the moment thing.
I sprinkled a few extra raisins over the rolled up croissants too.
Next melt some butter, I used a generous tablespoon and melted it in the microwave for about 10 seconds, not enough for it to start bubbling.
I then added a tablespoon of cinnamon and gave it a good stir and brushed it over the rolled up croissants. Crumble over some of your light brown sugar too.
Bake for an extra minute or two then you normally would.
Super simple and slightly cheaty Cinnamon and Raisin Croissants!
