AQUIS SWIRL RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray; set aside. Stir together sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; set aside.
• Roll 1 of the puff pastry sheets into an 11- x 15-inch rectangle on a lightly floured work surface. Brush rectangle evenly with butter. Sprinkle evenly with 3 tablespoons of the sugar mixture. Starting at longer side, roll rectangle into a tight log; pinching along seam to seal. Cut log lengthwise into quarters to form 4 long layered strands (they don't have to be perfect). Wrap each quarter into a spiral shape, tucking outer end underneath. Place each spiral into prepared muffin pan. Repeat entire process with remaining 2 puff pastry sheets. Chill pan in refrigerator for 10 minutes. 
• Whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon water in a bowl until frothy. Brush muffin tops with egg wash.
• Bake in preheated oven until muffins are puffed and browned, about 30 minutes. Cover with aluminum foil after 20 minutes to prevent overbrowning. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Remove muffins from pan, and roll in remaining sugar mixture.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Mix in egg, vanilla, and salt.
• Mix in flour.
• Make the dough into a ball and cut into two halves.
• Add food coloring to one half of the dough, working it in until evenly mixed.
• On a large cutting board covered in plastic wrap, use a rolling pin to roll out each piece of dough to make two 12x9-inch (30x22-cm) rectangles. Tip: Place wax paper over the dough while rolling to keep the dough from sticking to the rolling pin.
• Take the colored dough rectangle and place it over the other regular dough rectangle.
• Use the plastic wrap under the regular dough rectangle to help you roll the two rectangles up.
• Fill a flat dish or baking pan with sprinkles. Roll the dough around it until the outside is completely coated.
• Chill for at least 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Cut the dough into ¼-inch (6-mm) slices and place them on a cookie sheet.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes, until blonde.
• Enjoy!
