Simple recipe for making sweet and flaky cinnamon twists at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Do not separate the triangles.
- In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together.
- Brush the melted butter lightly over the entire surface of the dough.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
- Cut the dough lengthwise into 12 equal strips.
- Take each strip and gently twist it 3 to 4 times to form a twist shape.
- Place the twists onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
Notes
- You can increase the cinnamon-sugar ratio for a stronger flavor.
- For extra sweetness, drizzle a simple powdered sugar glaze over the warm twists.
