Description

Delightful pastries that are flaky, warm, and bursting with sweet cinnamon flavor, perfect for snacks or breakfast.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar or sanding sugar (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese or Nutella (optional filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, gently unfold the puff pastry sheet and roll it slightly to even out the thickness.
  3. Brush the entire surface of the pastry with melted butter.
  4. In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon; sprinkle it over the buttered pastry.
  5. Fold the pastry in half lengthwise and press to seal the edges.
  6. Slice the folded pastry into 1-inch strips.
  7. Twist each strip a few times and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.
  9. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until golden brown and puffed up.
  10. Allow cooling slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Consider adding cream cheese or Nutella for a flavorful surprise center. Keep an eye on the baking time as ovens vary.
