Preparation

Step 1

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine flour and sugar with an electric mixer set on medium speed.

Step 2: Add butter pieces and mix until dough forms pea-size pellets.

Step 3: Add chilled maple syrup and 2 tablespoons of water, and mix on low speed until the dough can be formed into a ball. Do not overmix the dough or it will become tough.

Step 4: Separate dough into two balls and flatten into disks.

Step 5: Wrap each disk with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Step 6: After two hours; in a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon.

Step 8: Sprinkle dough with half of the cinnamon-sugar filling.

Step 9: Starting with the smaller side, roll dough up tightly into a cylinder. Dampen edge with water and seal.

Step 10: Repeat process with remaining disk of dough.

Step 11: Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
