Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar (1 tablespoon ground cinnamon mixed with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar)
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet gently to even out the thickness if needed.
- Cut the dough: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the puff pastry into strips about 1 inch wide.
- Add butter and cinnamon sugar: Brush each strip lightly with melted butter. Then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the buttered strips, pressing lightly to ensure it adheres.
- Twist the strips: Take each strip and twist it several times, forming spiral shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
- Bake the pastries: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pastries are puffed up and golden brown.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Make sure the puff pastry is cold but pliable for easier handling and better puff.
- You can sprinkle extra sugar on top before baking for added crunch.
- Serve with a drizzle of icing or glaze for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain crispness.
