Puff Pastry Cinnamon Twists are so delicious and satisfying because they combine the flaky, buttery goodness of puff pastry with the sweet and aromatic flavor of cinnamon sugar.
Puff pastry is known for its light, flaky layers and rich, buttery taste. When baked, they become crispy on the outside while remaining tender on the inside. The filling is made with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar adding warmth, sweetness, and a hint of spice to the pastry.
Ingredients for this recipe
To make this recipe, you will need the following ingredients: frozen puff pastry sheet (store bought), coconut sugar, and ground cinnamon.
You can adjust the amount of cinnamon and sugar, add other spices like nutmeg or cardamom, or even incorporate ingredients like chopped nuts or raisins for extra texture and flavor. If you prefer, you can also use melted butter. Brushing melted butter with a pastry brush can help cinnamon and sugar to stay on better.
How to make Puff Pastry Cinnamon Twists
1. First, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and ground cinnamon. Unfold puff pastry dough sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly over dough and roll gently with a rolling pin. With a sharp knife (or pizza cutter), slice pastry sheet from top to bottom into 12 strips. Twist each strip about five times around.
2. Place twists 2 inches apart on two prepared baking sheets (they will spread and untwist slightly when baking). Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Serve cinnamon twists warm or at room temperature.
Puff Pastry Cinnamon Twists have very elegant appearance. The twisted shape and golden-brown color make them look like they require more effort to make than they actually do. Whether you’re serving them as a breakfast treat, a dessert, or a snack with coffee or tea, puff pastry twists are versatile and suitable for various occasions.
