Creating Cinnamon Twists Better Than Donuts is straightforward. Follow these steps for perfect results every time:
1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to smooth out any creases.
3. Mix Sugar and Cinnamon: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well.
4. Apply the Mixture: Brush the melted butter over the puff pastry. Then, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the surface.
5. Cut the Pastry: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the pastry into strips about 1 inch wide.
6. Twist the Strips: Take each strip and twist it several times to create a spiral shape. Place the twists on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
7. Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the twisted pastries with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
