Roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle, then spread all over with the remaining butter and sugar mixture.

Remarks
If you are not using a silicon mould, be sure to turn the rolls out as soon as you remove them from the oven, otherwise the caramel will harden and they will stick. They are then impossible to remove without breaking.
Keeping
A few hours.
