Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Puff Pastry:
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet into a 10x12-inch rectangle.

- Starting from one long edge, roll the puff pastry into a tight log. Slice the log into ½-inch thick rounds.
- Prepare for Baking:
- Place the rounds on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and crisp.
- Optional Honey Drizzle:
- For a touch of sweetness, drizzle warm honey over the twirls before serving.
