Recipe Notes and Tips
- I like to apply the butter with a pastry brush so that I know it is spread evenly on the cinnamon twists. You can use a pastry brush if you prefer.
- I used the back of a measuring spoon to press the sugar mixture into the dough before I twisted them up so that the sugar didn’t fall off.
- You can also try adding some lemon zest into the sugar mixture for a bright burst of flavor!
- This recipe is great because it can be customized based on what your family prefers. Some people prefer more cinnamon rather than sugar.
- You can also increase the flavor in this cinnamon twist recipe by switching out the cinnamon for pumpkin or apple pie spice.
- Another way to increase the sweetness is to whip up a vanilla glaze and drizzle on the baked pastry twists for added sweetness.
- If you have leftover dough, cook up the rest of the dough and add brown sugar to some bites, chocolate chips, and caramel to others, and change up the test. The best results sometimes are ones that aren’t planned!
