I love baking with puff pastry. It gives these sticky buns an incredible crispness and the melted butter,sugar and cinnamon soaks into the pastry. The aroma is amazing when they are baking.

    Lightly flour a wooden board or surface. unfold 1 sheet of puff pastry with the folds going left to right. Brush the whole sheet with the melted butter. Leaving a 1-inch border on the puff pastry. sprinkle each sheet with 1/3 cup of the brown sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cinnamon, and 1/2 cup raisins. Starting with the end closeset to you, roll the pastry up snugly like a jelly roll around the filling, finishing the roll with the seam side down. Trim the ends of the roll about 1/2 inch and discard. slice the roll in 6 equal pieces, each about 1 1/2 inches wide. Place each piece, spiral side up, in 6 of the muffin cups. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry to make 12 sticky buns.
