NOTES
1. Puff pastry Use a puff pastry roll instead of individual sheets. This makes the recipe much easier.
2. Preparing butter Melt the butter on low heat and turn off the heat just before the last bit is melted. You don't want to brown or burn the butter. Butter contains solid parts which can burn.
3. Baking tips Keep 1 inch (2 cm) distance between the buns when baking them. They will rise a bit and otherwise, they will cling together.
4. Also delicious: Add a glaze. Use 2 cups of confectioners sugar and mix them with 1 to 2 tablespoons of water. Sprinkle this on top of the cranberry rolls.
5. Storage
- Preparation: A day before making these rolls, you can chop the pecans and make the cinnamon sugar. You can store these in an airtight jar at room temperature. And the cranberries can already be soaked in water. Store the cranberries in the refrigerator.
- Freezer: Roll the puff pastry and cut in slices. Cut some baking paper in small squares (2 x 2 inches, 5 x 5 cm) and put them in between the puff pastry slices. Put in an airtight container and freeze. You can store them for 2 months. Let them thaw at room temperature.
