Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 store bought puff pastry sheets Let these set out at room temperature for about 15 minutes to make them easier to work with.
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ½ cup light brown sugar firmly packed
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425℉ (220C/200C Fan).
  • Unroll the first sheet of puff pastry and place either on a lined or floured work surface (I keep mine on the grease proof paper that is used to roll the dough).
  • Brush the surface with a generous layer of melted butter.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this over the surface of the buttered pastry.
  • Unroll the second sheet of puff pastry and place on top, sandwiching the layer of cinnamon sugar.
  • Use a sharp knife or dough cutter to divide the pastry into 16 strips.
  • Working one strip at a time, hold each end and twist in opposite directions until the pastry has swirled.
  • Place the twists on a lined baking sheet at least an inch apart. Brush with more melted butter.
  • Bake in the centre of the preheated oven for about 12 minutes until well puffed and golden.
  • When ready, remove from the oven and allow to cool on the pan for a couple of minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
