Cinnamon Doughnut Twists Recipe


  • Author: David

Ingredients

Scale

    • 1 can of refrigerated dough (crescent rolls work perfectly)

    • 1/2 cup sugar

    • 2 tsp cinnamon

    • 1/4 cup melted butter (or a plant-based alternative for a vegan option)


Instructions

    1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the doughnut twists bake evenly and achieve a beautiful golden brown color.

    1. Roll out the dough and cut it into strips. Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the dough into even strips that are about 1 inch wide. This will create the perfect size for twisting.

    1. Twist each strip and place them on a baking sheet. Gently twist each strip of dough and lay them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to leave some space between the twists to allow for expansion during baking.

    1. Brush melted butter over the twists. Use a pastry brush to generously coat each twist with melted butter. This will help the cinnamon-sugar mixture adhere to the dough and add a rich, buttery flavor.

    1. Mix sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle it generously over the dough. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle it evenly over the buttered twists. Be generous with the mixture to ensure every bite is full of flavor.

    1. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Keep an eye on the twists as they bake, and remove them from the oven once they reach a beautiful golden color.

    1. Let cool slightly before serving. Allow the twists to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help them set and prevent any burns from the hot sugar.
