Ingredients

  • Puff pastry sheets – Store-bought frozen, and glorious. Thaw it first or don’t… and regret it.
  • Butter melted – Real butter, please. This is not the time for substitutes.
  • Granulated sugar – Sweetness + crunch = magic.
  • Ground cinnamon – The star of the show. Be generous.
  • Optional extras: powdered sugar for dusting or a quick glaze if you’re feeling fancy.

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Yes, before you forget. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper like a responsible adult.
  • Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Keep it cold-ish—warm pastry gets sticky and dramatic.
  • Brush melted butter all over the pastry. Don’t be shy; butter is the glue holding this joy together.
  • Mix sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle it evenly over the buttered pastry. Press it in gently so it sticks.
  • Fold the pastry in half (like closing a book), then slice into even strips. Twisting them is optional but highly recommended for ✨aesthetic✨ reasons.
  • Place twists on the baking sheet, leaving space because puff pastry expands like it has goals.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, flipping once if needed, until golden, flaky, and wildly tempting.
  • Cool slightly, dust with powdered sugar if you want, and try not to eat them all immediately. (No promises.)
