Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar (1 tablespoon ground cinnamon mixed with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Brush the melted butter evenly over the entire surface of the pastry.
  2. Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the buttered pastry, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
  3. Cut and Twist: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the pastry into strips about 1 inch wide. Take each strip, hold each end, and twist several times to create the classic twisted shape.
  4. Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the twisted strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the twists carefully and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for even cooking.
  • For extra sweetness, drizzle with a light glaze made of powdered sugar and milk after air frying.
  • Use chilled puff pastry that is properly thawed for best results.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container; reheat briefly in the air fryer to regain crispiness.
