Puff Pastry Cinnamon Twists
The easiest cinnamon twists you'll make, they're perfect for when you want a treat without the effort. The recipe comes from Puff it Up, a cookbook filled with 60 easy puff pastry recipes.
Servings: 8 cinnamon twists
Ingredients
- 60 g unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 x 230g sheet puff pastry
- 1 egg beaten
- 40 g cream-cheese
- 40 g icing sugar
- 15 g icing sugar
- 15 g tahini
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
Instructions
- Mix the butter, cinnamon and brown sugar together until well combined.
- Unroll the puff pastry and spread the cinnamon butter all over, then fold in half as if you’re closing a book, and cut into eight strips. Working quickly so the pastry doesn’t get too warm, lift a strip and twist it while wrapping it around your fingers. Tuck the end underneath the twist, then place on a lined baking tray. Repeat this with the remaining strips. Brush the cinnamon twists with the egg and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden.
- While they cook, make the tahini cream cheese glaze. First beat the cream cheese until softened, then whisk in the icing sugar until smooth. Add the tahini and vanilla and mix again, loosening with a splash of water to make it just thin enough to dunk.
- Remove the cinnamon twists from the oven, leave to cool slightly, then dunk into the tahini cream cheese glaze to cover. Set aside to cool before serving.
