Puff Pastry Cinnamon Twists
Puff pastry cinnamon twists are a simple and delicious sweet treat that's perfect for an afternoon snack, dessert or even a breakfast. They're light and crispy with the best cinnamon sugar flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
- 2 tablespoon butter melted
- ¼ cup (55 g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unfold puff pastry onto a lightly floured mat or counter. Roll into a large rectangle.
- In a small bowl mix together both sugars, cinnamon and salt.
- Brush pastry with melted butter evenly across the top. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over the melted butter. Press the mixture into the butter/pastry using your rolling pin to help it adhere, you can also use your hands if needed.
- Fold the pastry in half, keeping it long. Using a pastry or pizza cutter cut the pastry into 12 strips. Twist each strip and pinch the end that is open.
- Scatter all 12 twists so they aren't touching and have a little space to "puff". Brush the tops with a little extra butter is desired and sprinkle with any cinnamon sugar mixture that fell out during the twisting.
- Bake twists for 15-17 minutes, or until a light golden brown. Allow to cool before eating.
Notes
If the thawed pastry becomes warm or sticky just throw it in the fridge for a few minutes to firm back up.
You can use all granulated or all brown sugar if you only have one on hand.
