My Cinnamon Snails, aka Zimtschnecken, use frozen puff pastry. Deliciously simple, these are great additions to your collection of quick Christmas recipes.
In fact, these have become regular additions to my holiday baking. Why? Because they are easy. Because they are delicious. And, most importantly, because everyone likes them.
The "American way" to make these cinnamon puffs is to use brown sugar. The "German way" to make these Zimtschnecken is to use white sugar. Try it, I think you'll like it!
Snail Tips ...
> These really do taste best fresh, so make them early in the day you need them.
> If you wish, you can always include some chopped nuts in the filling.
Frozen Puff Pastry ...
Buying and keeping frozen puff pastry in the freezer means you'll always be ready to make these. Follow the thawing instructions on the package. Keep thawed dough in fridge until ready to use.
Don't forget to buy more so that you'll always have some to make these and other quick puff pastry recipes.
Although I haven't yet tried it, using partly vanilla sugar should be really good.
Oma says,
These really are best freshly made. Plan them that way.
Do not bake these ahead of time. They do keep for a couple of days, if there are leftovers. Seal them well in containers once they are cold so they stay crispy.
But, FRESH is best!

These delicious soups are truly made in no time at all, quick, as the title says, with ingredients that you most likely have on hand...
Included in the book are many ideas of substituting the original ingredients and turning-up the taste a notch or totally changing the taste of the soup...
...Gerhild makes it so easy! She takes away the fear of messing up or trying something new.
Quick Fix Soups is a great addition to my recipe collection, one I don’t want to miss.
