Pastry
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
Butter
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Cinnamon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the pastries.
- Prepare the Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth it out.
- Brush with Butter: Use a pastry brush to evenly coat the puff pastry surface with melted butter, which will help the cinnamon sugar stick and promote browning.
- Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl, then generously sprinkle it over the buttered puff pastry.
- Cut and Twist: Cut the pastry into strips about 1 inch wide. Take each strip and twist it several times to create a spiral shape.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the twisted strips onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pastries are puffed up and golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the pastries cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm.
Notes
- Make sure the puff pastry is properly thawed before use for easier handling.
- You can adjust the cinnamon sugar ratio to your taste preference.
- For extra shine, brush with a little egg wash before baking.
- Serve with coffee or tea for a perfect morning treat.
