Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the pastry: Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Brush with melted butter, then evenly sprinkle with brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Roll and slice: Roll the pastry tightly from one edge to the other to form a log. Slice into 8 equal pieces and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake: Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
Make the glaze: While rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze.
Glaze and serve: Let rolls cool slightly before drizzling with glaze. Serve warm for best flavor.

Notes

Serve warm for best texture.
Add chopped nuts or raisins to the filling if desired.
You can double the recipe using two puff pastry sheets.
