Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) and line two baking trays with baking paper.
- 2
Mix the sugar and cinnamon. Scatter half over the work surface and unroll the pastry on top. Scatter most of the remaining sugar over the pastry and press it in lightly with a rolling pin.
- 3
Fold the two long sides in to meet exactly in the middle. Sprinkle with the last of the sugar and fold in half again, like closing a book.
- 4
Chill the roll for 15 minutes, then slice it into 1 cm thick pieces.
15 min - 5
Lay the slices cut side up on the trays, well apart, as they will spread. Bake for 10 minutes, then flip them over.
- 6
Bake for another 8 to 10 minutes, until deep golden and glassy with caramel. Cool on a rack. They crisp up as they cool.
