Granulated Sugar:

  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar (Substitute with coconut sugar for a healthier option.)

Ground Cinnamon:

  • 2 tablespoons Ground Cinnamon (Freshly ground gives the best aroma.)

Butter:

  • 1/4 cup Butter (melted) (Use margarine for a dairy-free option.)

Egg:

  • 1 large Egg (for egg wash) (Skip for a vegan version by opting for non-dairy milk.)

Powdered Sugar:

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar (for decoration) (A delightful finishing touch!)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll Out Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to about â…› inch thick.
  3. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
  4. Butter the Pastry: Brush the rolled-out pastry surface with melted butter.
  5. Add Cinnamon Sugar: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered pastry.
  6. Cut and Twist: Cut the pastry into 1-inch wide strips and gently twist each strip.
  7. Optional Egg Wash: Brush the twists with an egg wash or a splash of non-dairy milk.
  8. Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Finish and Serve: Allow twists to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • For a more pronounced cinnamon flavor, you can increase the amount of ground cinnamon in the sugar mixture.
  • These twists are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a day or two.
