Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet Cinnamon Twists
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll and roll out the defrosted puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface.
  3. In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to create a cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  4. Apply melted butter generously over the rolled-out puff pastry using a pastry brush.
  5. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly across the pastry.
  6. Cut the pastry into 1-inch wide strips, twist each strip to form a spiral shape.

  9. Cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
