Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    Lay puff pastry sheet on a clean surface. Brush with melted butter until fully coated.

  3. Step 3

    Mix sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the buttered pastry.

  4. Step 4

    Starting at one long edge, tightly roll the pastry into a log. Slice into 8 equal pieces.

  5. Step 5

    Place buns cut-side up on the sheet pan, spacing 2 inches apart. Sprinkle pearl sugar on top.

  6. Step 6

    Bake for 12–14 minutes until golden brown and edges look set. Cool 2 minutes, then serve warm.
