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.

4. Apply the Mixture: Brush the melted butter over the puff pastry. Then, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the surface.
