Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry (room temperature to prevent cracking)
  • 1/2 cup Sugar (adjustable for sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cardamom (optional)
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter (melted, can use vegan butter)
  • Pinch of Salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a bowl, whisk together the sugar, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined to create a flavorful spice blend.
  3. Prepare Puff Pastry: Remove the puff pastry sheet from the fridge and gently roll it out on a lightly floured surface to smooth out creases and prepare for toppings.
  4. Brush with Butter: Evenly brush the melted unsalted butter over the entire surface of the rolled-out pastry to help the sugar mixture adhere and add richness.
  5. Apply Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered puff pastry, pressing gently to ensure it sticks well.
  6. Fold and Slice: Fold the pastry in half lengthwise carefully, then slice the folded pastry into about 12 even strips for twisting.
  7. Twist Strips: Take each strip and twist it several times to create a beautiful spiral shape that will crisp up during baking.
  8. Arrange for Baking: Place the twisted strips spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet to allow for expansion while baking.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 14-15 minutes or until the twists are puffed up, golden brown, and crisp to perfection.
  10. Cool and Serve: Remove the twists from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use vegan butter or margarine instead of unsalted butter.
  • Adjust the sugar quantity according to your preferred sweetness level.
  • You can omit cardamom if you prefer a pure cinnamon flavor.
  • Make sure the puff pastry is at room temperature before working with it to avoid cracking.
  • Serve these cinnamon twists warm for the best taste and texture experience.
