Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll Out Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to about ⅛ inch thick.
Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
Butter the Pastry: Brush the rolled-out pastry surface with melted butter.
Add Cinnamon Sugar: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered pastry.
Cut and Twist: Cut the pastry into 1-inch wide strips and gently twist each strip.
Optional Egg Wash: Brush the twists with an egg wash or a splash of non-dairy milk.
Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
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.
