Ingredients
Scale
Puff Pastry:
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
Cinnamon Sugar Filling:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Additional:
- 1 tablespoon milk (for brushing)
- powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Pastry: Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and brush it evenly with melted butter.
- Make the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract if using. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered pastry.
- Shape the Twists: Fold the pastry in half lengthwise and gently press to seal. Cut into 10–12 strips, then twist each strip several times and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Brush each twist lightly with milk. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
- Finish and Serve: Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- These twists are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- For an extra treat, drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
