Easy make ahead pastries
These easy make ahead pastries are like baked “churros” or campechenas, a classic Mexican pan dulce. They have the same caramelized sugar coating of the original. And the same light as a feather crispy texture. Made super easy with frozen puff pastry sheets.
Ingredients
- Puff pastry – frozen puff pastry sheets or homemade puff pastry if you’re feeling ambitious and have a puff pastry recipe you like.
- Granulated sugar
- Cinnamon
- Salt
- All purpose flour– just to dust countertop and rolling pin
Step by step instructions
- Thaw puff pastry sheets and roll out slightly.
- Sprinkle puff pastry dough generously with cinnamon sugar, and roll again so the sugar settles into the dough.
- Cut puff pastry into any shape you desire, sticks, squares, rectangles, etc. You can even cut puff pastry into classic donut shapes to make round caramelized puff pastry donuts.
- Bake on a parchment lined or buttered baking sheet until they puff up. Then raise the heat to caramelize the sugar.
- Serve as is or with various sweet dipping sauces to dip in. Puff pastry donut dippers are delicious warm but also stay crispy for days if stored correctly. They’re a perfect brunch recipe and also great to serve at Easter.
- Enjoy!
