Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Pastry brush or spoon
- Sharp knife or pizza cutter
- Small bowl
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Place puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and smooth out folds.
- Brush evenly with melted butter.
- Stir cinnamon and brown sugar together, then spread over pastry, pressing lightly.
- Slice into 1-inch strips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Twist each strip firmly and place on the baking sheet.
- Lightly brush tops with remaining butter and sprinkle extra cinnamon sugar if needed.
- Bake until puffed, golden, and crisp around the edges. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Keep puff pastry cold for clean twists and better lift.
- Twist tighter than expected. The pastry loosens as it bakes.
- Bake on the middle rack for even browning.
- Best texture is crisp edges with soft flaky centers.
