Morning Buns

Morning Buns

 Trader Joe's Frozen Puff Pastry (use 1 sheet) 
 Refrigerated overnight. ( keeping this COLD is the secret to the puffiness of this incredible delicacy) .
Flour a counter or board. Unfold Pastry . 
Brush with soft butter .( about 1/4 cup )
Crumble  1/3 cup light brown sugar over the pastry & butter. Make a border of 1 1/2 inches around the pastry. Sprinkle  2 tsp.'s cinnamon . 
1/4 cup cranberries or raisins. Roll up snugly . Cut into 2" rounds .
 Making 6 Morning Buns 
These will go on top of the "topping" ( see below ) 
 

 " Topping " 
( this mixture goes on the bottom of each tin )

1/3 cup light brown sugar ( loosely packed )
1/4 cup butter ( @ room temperature)
Blend the sugar & butter . Spoon 1 Tbsp into each Muffin Tin  .
Add some crumbled pecans into each one . Now add to each buttery tin a morning bun pastry. 
 (when inverted this will be the "topping" )

 Note : using a baking sheet underneath the muffin tin keeps this from overspill / burning 
Bake at 400 degrees
 15 to 20 minutes  
Invert after 2 -3 minutes  out of oven onto Parchment Paper . 

Use of Parchment will absorb any excess butter .
