Homemade Cinnamon Twists: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe for 12
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
- Optional: icing for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Do not separate the triangles; keep them in a rectangular shape.
- In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Brush the melted butter evenly over the dough, ensuring all areas are covered.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the buttered dough.
- Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the dough into strips (about 1 inch wide).
- Take each strip and twist it several times. You can create a spiral or a simple twist shape.
- Arrange the twisted strips on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for expansion.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush this mixture over the tops of the twists for a golden finish.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the twists from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes.
- If desired, drizzle icing over the twists for an added touch of sweetness.
Notes
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
- These twists are best enjoyed fresh.
