This dessert originates from Russian cuisine, where puff pastry with a thin layer of butter, cinnamon, and sugar transforms into airy, crispy spirals. During baking, cinnamon reveals its warm, honey notes while caramelized sugar gives the snails a golden crust. They are conveniently served with morning coffee or evening tea, and a light dusting of powdered sugar completes the perfect dessert image.
