Ingredients
  

For the Twists

  • 2 tablespoons Sugar white or brown sugar

  • mixing bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by rolling out your puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it's smooth and about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into strips about 1 inch wide and 6 inches long.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon in equal parts to create a cinnamon sugar mixture. Stir well until blended.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Using a pastry brush, coat each pastry strip with melted butter evenly.
  4. Dip each buttered strip into the cinnamon sugar mixture or sprinkle it generously on top.
  5. Twist each cinnamon-sugar-coated strip a few times to create a spiral shape and arrange them in the air fryer basket.
  6. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Insert the basket with twists and air fry for approximately 10-12 minutes until golden-brown.
  7. Let the twists cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. Serve warm.
