Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry I used a puff pastry sheet cut into squares
- ¼ cup caster sugar
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 3 tablespoon butter melted
Instructions
- Begin by thawing puff pastry rolls by leaving them on the counter for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix cinnamon powder and caster sugar.
- Unroll the pastry and flatten using a rolling pin into a 10x12” rectangle.
- Brush melted unsalted butter over rolled pastry.
- Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over it.
- Using a rolling pin lightly roll and press so cinnamon sugar can stick. You can also use the back of the spoon to press cinnamon sugar on the pastry.
- Fold the pastry in half lengthwise. Cut into long strips.
- I skipped folding and cut the sheet directly into 2 strips.
- Cut into long strips.
- Hold each strip at the end and begin to twist. Twist as lightly as you can. It’s okay if some of the sugar falls out. Repeat for remaining strips.
- Place each strip 2 inches apart from the other strips on a baking tray lined with a silicon mat or parchment paper.
- Bake in preheated oven at 200F for about 15 minutes or until golden and crispy.
- Remove from oven. While cinnamon twists are still hot, sprinkle the remaining sugar over the top.
- Serve and enjoy!
