Description

Sweet Cinnamon Twists are a delightful and easy-to-make pastry using refrigerated crescent roll dough, coated in cinnamon sugar, baked to golden perfection, and topped with a smooth vanilla glaze. These treats are perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack.

Ingredients

Pastry

  • 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Glaze

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean surface and separate it into triangles along the perforated lines carefully.
  3. Butter the Dough: Using a brush, coat each dough triangle evenly with melted butter to help the cinnamon sugar adhere and to add richness.
  4. Add Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together; sprinkle this mixture liberally over each buttered triangle for that classic sweet-spicy flavor.
  5. Form the Twists: Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle toward the pointed tip, twisting slightly as you roll to create the characteristic twist shape.
  6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the prepared twists onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them out to allow puffing during baking.
  7. Bake: Bake the twists in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed up, indicating they are perfectly baked.
  8. Prepare the Glaze: While the twists bake, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl until smooth to create a sweet glaze.
  9. Glaze the Twists: Remove the twists from the oven and while still warm, drizzle the glaze evenly over each twist to enhance sweetness and presentation.
  10. Serve: Allow the twists to cool slightly, then serve warm and enjoy the delicious sweet treat!

Notes

  • For extra crispness, bake on the middle rack of the oven.
  • Adjust cinnamon quantity to taste for more or less spiciness.
  • Use light corn syrup in the glaze for a shinier finish if desired.
  • Serve the twists warm for the best flavor and texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
