Ingredients

Scale

Pastry

  • 1 Refrigerated Pie Crust

Filling and Coating

  • 2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 1/2 Cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tbsp Milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking your pastry.
  2. Prepare Pie Crust: Roll out the refrigerated pie crust into a circle on a clean surface. Use a brush or spoon to coat the entire surface with a thin, even layer of melted butter.
  3. Add Brown Sugar Layer: Sprinkle the light brown sugar evenly over the buttered pie crust, covering the entire surface to create the sweet filling.
  4. Roll the Pastry: Carefully roll the pie crust lengthwise to form a long roll similar to a cigar. Pinch the ends tightly to ensure the sugar does not leak out during baking.
  5. Apply Milk Wash: Brush the outside of the pastry roll evenly with milk, then place the roll seam-side down. This helps the roll hold together and promotes browning.
  6. Slice the Roll: Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into approximately 1-inch wide pieces. Place each piece cut-side up on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced slightly apart.
  7. Bake: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake the pieces for 15 to 18 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the pastries to cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack or serving plate. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Ensure the ends of the pastry roll are well-sealed to prevent sugar from leaking during baking.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • These pastries are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for one day without losing crispness.
  • For a richer flavor, you can sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over the brown sugar before rolling.
