Instructions
Making Homemade Cinnamon Twists is a fun and rewarding process. Follow these steps to create your own delicious treats:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Do not separate the triangles; keep them in a rectangular shape.
3. Mix Sugar and Cinnamon: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined.
4. Spread Butter: Brush the melted butter evenly over the dough, ensuring all areas are covered.
5. Add Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the buttered dough.
6. Cut the Dough: Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the dough into strips (about 1 inch wide).
7. Twist the Strips: Take each strip and twist it several times. You can create a spiral or a simple twist shape.
8. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the twisted strips on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for expansion.
9. Prepare Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush this mixture over the tops of the twists for a golden finish.
10. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.
11. Cool: Once baked, remove the twists from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes.
12. Optional Icing: If desired, drizzle icing over the twists for an added touch of sweetness.
