Cinnamon Twists Recipe
Description
The Cinnamon Twists Recipe uses canned crescent roll dough shaped into rectangles and layered with melted butter and a cinnamon-sugar mixture. After layering, the dough is cut into strips, twisted several times to reveal the cinnamon-sugar layers, and baked until golden. Baking at 375°F for 8-10 minutes crisps the edges while keeping the interior soft. The butter and cinnamon sugar create a sweet, aromatic crust on flaky, tender pastry slices.
These twists can be served warm as a breakfast treat or a dessert accompaniment. Their size and hand-held shape make them convenient for casual serving during gatherings or teatime. The cinnamon and sugar combine for a sweet spice that pairs beautifully with the buttery dough.
Ingredients
- 2 TB sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 can crescent rolls (8 oz)
- 3 TB butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Unroll your crescent dough and lay down as 4 rectangles on a greased cookie sheet making sure you press the triangles together to form the rectangles.
- Mix together your sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
- Spread melted butter onto 2 of the rectangles and sprinkle a little less than half the cinnamon/sugar mixture on top of the melted butter.
- Take the two non-buttered rectangles and put those on top of your buttered and cinnamon/sugar rectangles. Press edges together.
- Cut both rectangles into 6 strips and top with any reserve melted butter. Twist each strip a few times and spread onto cookie sheet.
- Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon and sugar. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
