Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and roll out each puff pastry sheet to smooth it out.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Brush one side of each puff pastry sheet with the melted butter.
Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over one of the buttered pastry sheets.
Place the second pastry sheet on top of the first, with the buttered side facing down, creating a sandwich of pastry sheets with the cinnamon sugar in between.
Lightly press the sheets together and use a rolling pin to seal them gently.
Cut the layered pastry into 1-inch wide strips. Hold both ends of each strip and twist them into a spiral shape.
Place the twists onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.
Brush the tops of the twists with any remaining melted butter and sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the twists are golden and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
