Gooey Cinnamon Pastry

Posts: 80
I didn't set out to be gooey but it definitely was!
After seeing some pics of meat and cheese filled pastries out here I had in mind to do one with cinnamon.
I used the filling recipe from the food network (link someone provided to my earlier post asking for cinnamon filling recipe) and frozen puff pastry.
Cinnamon Rolls
The pastry was quite tasty but will need some refining.
I'll start by saying it was delicious :cheer: - then again it'd be hard to be anything but using bread, cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter.
But it could use some work...
1. I should have made the filling into a paste. I piled it in and added some melted butter and it was a bit grainy when it came out.
2. Might just be better to make it as rolls. I had a large pocket of filling which melted/oozed more than intended.
3. Should have prepped it last night (and the egg). Kids weren't real patient with the 30+ minute cook time and prepping the egg at 28* was chilly (that's pretty cold in South Carolina so you northerners give me a break
)
4. Shouldn't have flicked the cinnamon goo that oozed onto my stone off with a spatula as it stuck to my finger and burned like H*$L!
Anyway - here are the pics
In the making

On the egg

Off the egg (drizzed some powdered sugar/water icing)

My family has a tradition of making something very similar every year for the night of Christmas Eve. We always use a can of almond paste for the filling and top with the powder sugar frosting when it comes out of the oven.
I've never tried it on the Egg before, but I can't see as how it would be much different that what everyone else has been doing with their braids. -
:P excuse me! just licking the paper

Great looking cook Matt, at 28º I would have still been under the electric blanket! Sorry to hear that you tangled with molten sugar, that stuff is like napalm.
