Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry (room temperature to avoid cracking)
  • 1/2 cup Sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cardamom (optional)
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter (melted; can use vegan butter)
  • a pinch 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 ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Spices and Sugar: In a bowl, whisk together the sugar, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, and a pinch of salt until well combined to create a flavorful cinnamon sugar blend.
  3. Prepare Puff Pastry: Remove the puff pastry from the fridge and roll it out gently on a floured surface to your desired thickness, taking care not to tear it.
  4. Apply Butter: Brush the melted unsalted butter evenly over the entire surface of the puff pastry, which helps the cinnamon sugar mixture stick and adds rich flavor.
  5. Add Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered pastry, pressing down lightly to help it adhere properly.
  6. Fold and Slice: Fold the pastry in half lengthwise, then use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice it into about 12 equal strips for twisting.
  7. Twist Strips: Take each strip and twist it several times to create a beautiful swirl pattern that will crisp up deliciously during baking.
  8. Bake: Arrange the twisted strips on the prepared baking sheet spaced apart, and bake for 14-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and puff up nicely.
  9. Cool and Serve: Let the twists cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Ensure puff pastry is at room temperature before rolling to prevent cracking.
  • For a vegan version, substitute unsalted butter with vegan butter.
  • The ground cardamom is optional but adds a lovely aromatic sweetness.
  • You can reduce sugar according to your preference for sweetness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat briefly for best taste.
