Ingredients
\n1 package of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
\n3 tablespoons melted butter
\n1\/4 cup granulated sugar
\n1 teaspoon vanilla extract
\n1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
\nPowdered sugar (for dusting)
\n1 egg (for egg wash)
\nInstructions
\nPreheat oven to 190\u00b0C (375\u00b0F).
\nLine a baking sheet with parchment paper.
\nLightly roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface.
\nBrush the surface evenly with melted butter.<\/p>\n
Sprinkle evenly with sugar (and cinnamon, if using).
\nFold the dough in half lengthwise.
\nCut into strips about 2.5 cm wide.
\nGently twist each strip and shape it into small knots or spirals.
\nPlace on a prepared baking sheet.
\nLightly brush with beaten egg.
\nBake for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.
\nLet cool slightly, then dust generously with powdered sugar.<\/p>\n
How to make: For a better flaky texture, keep the puff pastry chilled before baking.
\nDon\u2019t overwork the dough to maintain the layers.
\nTwist gently without stretching too much.
\nSpace the pastries apart to allow them to rise properly.
\nLet cool slightly before dusting with sugar to prevent it from melting. Variations
\nChocolate Twist: Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips before folding.
\nNutella Filled: Spread a thin layer of Nutella before twisting.
\nLemon Sugar: Add lemon zest to the sugar mixture.
\nSavory Version: Omit the sugar and top with cheese or pesto.
\nAlmond Style: Add marzipan and slivered almonds on top.
\nTips
\nUse a sharp knife or pizza cutter to create clean strips.<\/p>\n
Bake until golden brown and crispy.
\nStore in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
