Ingredients:

For the dough:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup ice water

For the filling:

- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add the ice water and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. In a small bowl, mix together the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the dough disks into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. Spread half of the filling over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
6. Roll up the dough tightly, starting at the long edge. Cut the roll into 1-inch slices and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up.
9. Serve warm or at room temperature.
