Cinnamon Twists
Cinnamon twist recipe is my favorite way to transform puff pastry scraps. In about 25 minutes, you get deeply caramelized, flaky twists with crisp edges and melting cinnamon sugar!
Servings: 15 twists
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup sugar
- 4 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 ½ cups puff pastry scraps a little less than a sheet
- sugar additional for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl. Spread some onto your work surface and sprinkle additional granulated sugar over it.
- Roll cold puff pastry scraps in the cinnamon sugar mixture, pressing gently so it adheres.
- Roll dough to about ⅛-inch thick.
- Cut into ½-inch strips using a knife or pizza cutter.
- Twist each strip into a tight spiral and place on a prepared baking sheet. Press ends down slightly.
- Chill about 30 minutes, or until completely cold.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, until deep golden brown and sugar is caramelized.
- Cool completely before storing.
