Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 10 tbsp margarine
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup margarine
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, 10 tablespoons of margarine (cut into small pieces), milk, baking powder, and egg. Mix well until the dough comes together.
-
Roll Out the Dough:
- Sprinkle a work surface with flour and icing sugar. Roll out the dough into a rectangle or square, about 1/4 inch thick.
-
Shape the Twists:
- Cut the rolled-out dough into squares, approximately 3 inches by 3 inches. Place them on a baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator if the dough becomes too soft to handle easily.
-
Prepare the Filling:
- In a small bowl, mix together cinnamon, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of margarine until well combined.
-
Fill and Twist:
- Spread a generous amount of the cinnamon-sugar filling onto half of each dough square. Then, fold the dough from one corner to the opposite corner, creating a triangle shape with the filling inside.
-
Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the prepared cinnamon twists on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and slightly puffed.
-
Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let the cinnamon twists cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Enjoy:
- Serve these delightful cinnamon twists warm or at room temperature. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, snacks, or even as a dessert option!
Recipe Notes:
-
Make-Ahead Tip: You can prepare the dough and filling ahead of time and assemble the twists just before baking for a fresh, homemade treat any time.
-
Storage: Store leftover cinnamon twists in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen and reheated in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
