Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sheets of store-bought puff pastry, thawed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface until smooth and even.
- Brush the melted butter evenly over the entire surface of the pastry.
- In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the buttered pastry.
- Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the pastry into strips about 1 inch wide.
- Take each strip and twist it gently, holding both ends and turning them in opposite directions. Place the twisted strips onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush a thin layer over the top of each twist for a golden finish.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the twists are puffed and golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.
- Remove the twists from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack. Let them cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
