Delightful flaky pastry twisted with cinnamon and sugar, baked to golden perfection.

Ingredients

  • Puff Pastry or Crescent Roll Dough
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • Melted Unsalted Butter
  • Powdered Sugar (Confectioners’ Sugar)
  • Milk (or Cream)
  • Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Workspace & Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the Dough: Unroll your puff pastry or crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet or a lightly floured surface.
  3. Butter Up the Dough: Brush the entire surface of the dough with about half of your melted butter.
  4. Sprinkle with Cinnamon-Sugar: Evenly sprinkle about three-quarters of your cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered dough.
  5. Fold and Press (Puff Pastry Only): If using puff pastry, fold the dough in half lengthwise and lightly press down to seal the edges.
  6. Slice into Strips: Cut the dough lengthwise into 1-inch wide strips.
  7. Twist Each Strip: Pick up each strip and carefully twist it several times.
  8. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the twisted strips onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
  9. Butter and Sugar Again: Brush the tops with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  10. Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Prepare Glaze (Optional): Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  12. Glaze and Serve: Let the twists cool slightly, then drizzle with the prepared glaze.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Freeze before baking for long-term storage.
