Ingredients
- 2 store bought puff pastry sheets Let these set out at room temperature for about 15 minutes to make them easier to work with.
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
- ½ cup light brown sugar firmly packed
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425℉ (220C/200C Fan).
- Unroll the first sheet of puff pastry and place either on a lined or floured work surface (I keep mine on the grease proof paper that is used to roll the dough).
- Brush the surface with a generous layer of melted butter.
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this over the surface of the buttered pastry.
- Unroll the second sheet of puff pastry and place on top, sandwiching the layer of cinnamon sugar.
- Use a sharp knife or dough cutter to divide the pastry into 16 strips.
- Working one strip at a time, hold each end and twist in opposite directions until the pastry has swirled.
- Place the twists on a lined baking sheet at least an inch apart. Brush with more melted butter.
- Bake in the centre of the preheated oven for about 12 minutes until well puffed and golden.
- When ready, remove from the oven and allow to cool on the pan for a couple of minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
