For the icing
4tbsp icing sugar
1-2tsp water
1 Put the butter, sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and beat well to combine.
2 Unroll the sheet of puff pastry, keeping it on its baking paper lining, and set it on the work surface in front of you so that the shorter edges are at the top and bottom.
3 Leaving a 1cm border all around the edge of the pastry, spread the spiced butter mixture over the pastry in an even layer.
4 Working from one of the shorter ends and using the backing paper to help, roll the pastry into a tight cylinder. Once rolled, cut the pastry in half, then cut each half into 5 equal discs, so that you end up with 10 swirls.
