- 1 tbsp maple syrup

- 2-3 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Lay a thawed, but still cold sheet of puff pastry on a lightly flour dusted surface or a piece of parchment.

- Add the brown sugar on top of the buttered puff pastry, leaving the outer edge empty.
- Gently press the brown sugar down into the dough.
- Add the cinnamon evenly over the top.
- Tightly roll the dough, working in the same direction as the creases of the dough.
- Press the seam into the roll gently to help seal it.
- If using an egg wash, whisk the egg well and then brush it along the seam.
- Brush the tops of the cinnamon rolls with the egg wash.
- Lay the roll seam down, and use a sharp serrated knife or dental floss to cut into about 1 ½ inch rolls.
- Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment.
- Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
- While cooling, whisk together the icing ingredients, adding only 2 tablespoons of milk to start and more as desired.
- Ice the cinnamon rolls and serve immediately.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
