Puff Pastry Cinnamon Twists
Report
Puff Pastry Cinnamon Twists are a buttery sweet treat that combines crisp and flaky puff pastry with a twist of cinnamon sugar. They're super easy to make with store-bought puff pastry or homemade.

Ingredients
- 1 pound (453 grams) puff pastry dough classic or quick puff pastry
- 1 tick (8 tablespoons or 4 ounces or 113 grams) butter, melted
- ½ cup (3.5 ounces or 100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Take the wrapped puff pastry out of the refrigerator a few minutes before you want to roll it out.
- Roll out the pastry into a rectangle about 7 to 8 inches on the short side and ⅛ inch thick.
- Use a pastry brush to brush the rectangle thickly but evenly with melted butter.
- Combine the sugar, cinnamon, and salt and sprinkle it evenly over the rectangle. Use your hands to pat it gently into the butter.
- Slice the rectangle into about ¾ inch strips that will be 7 to 8 inches long.
- Holding one end steady, twist the other end of the pastry as tightly as you can, and press the ends of the puff pastry twist down onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat. This will help prevent the cinnamon twist from unwinding while baking.
- Put the baking sheet into the freezer for about 30 minutes prior to baking. This will again help to prevent the twists from unraveling.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, until your puff pastry twists are crisp and slightly browned.
- Let your cinnamon puff pastry twists cool on the baking sheet. These cinnamon twists can be stored in an air tight container at room temperature for about one week.
Notes
- Either classic puff pastry or quick puff pastry (also called rough puff pastry) will work in this recipe for puff pastry cinnamon twists.
- When rolling puff pastry, be careful not to roll over the edge of the dough. This smashes the layers together and prevents your puff pastry from rising as much.
- If you want shorter cinnamon twists, fold the puff pastry dough in half prior to twisting, press down on the ends to seal it, twist away, and bake as directed.
