Description
Delicious cinnamon twists made from flaky puff pastry, perfect for a sweet treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry (thawed)
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup sugar (divided)
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon (divided)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Unfold 2 thawed sheets of puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to even out the creases and gently roll out the puff pastry.
- Pour half of the butter onto each of the puff pastry sheets and spread evenly using an offset spatula or a pastry brush. Sprinkle each sheet with half of the sugar and half of the cinnamon.
- Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut into 3/4″ wide strips. Twist each puff pastry strip and place onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Use a pastry brush to lightly egg wash the puff pastry.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until puffed and lightly golden brown.
- Meanwhile, combine the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Stir until combined and smooth, then set aside until ready to use.
- Once baked, remove the cinnamon twists from the oven. Allow them to cool slightly before drizzling with icing and serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed before starting to make it easier to work with.
- This recipe can be halved or doubled according to your needs.
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon mixture.
