Ingredients

Scale

Pastry

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)

Butter

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Cinnamon Sugar

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the pastries.
  2. Prepare the Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth it out.
  3. 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.
  4. Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl, then generously sprinkle it over the buttered puff pastry.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
