🥮 How To Make Barefoot Contessa Cinnamon Rolls

1. Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and place a 12-cup muffin tin on it.
2. Prepare the Muffin Cups: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix 12 tablespoons of butter with 1/3 cup of brown sugar until well combined. Distribute a rounded tablespoon of this mixture into each muffin cup. Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the butter and sugar mixture in the cups.
3. Prepare the Pastry: Lightly dust a stone or wooden surface with flour. Unfold one sheet of puff pastry, making sure the folds run from left to right. Brush the entire surface with half of the melted butter. Evenly sprinkle half of the brown sugar, cinnamon, and raisins over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border at the edges.
4. Roll and Cut: Start rolling the pastry from the edge closest to you, forming a jelly roll shape. Ensure the seam is at the bottom after rolling. Trim 1/2 inch from each end of the roll and discard the trimmings. Cut the roll into six equal slices, each about 1 1/2 inches wide. Place each slice, spiral side up, into the muffin cups. Repeat the process with the second sheet of puff pastry.
5. Bake: Bake the rolls until they are golden to dark brown and feel firm, about 30 minutes. Note: They will be very hot.
6. Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then invert them onto the parchment paper. Spoon any remaining filling and pecans on top of the rolls. Let the rolls cool completely before serving.

💭 Recipe Tips:

• Soft Butter: Make sure your butter is soft before you start. It mixes better that way.
• Puff Pastry: Make sure the puff pastry is not cold from the fridge. It should be soft so it doesn’t break when you roll it.
• Spread Evenly: Put the same amount of sugar, cinnamon, and raisins all over the pastry so that every bite is yummy.
• Roll Tightly: Roll the pastry tightly from the side nearest to you to keep all the sweet filling inside.
• Let Them Cool: After baking, wait until the rolls are completely cool. This makes them taste better and easier to eat.
