Cinnamon Twists Recipe

🕒 Cook Time: 15 minutes
🕒 Prep Time: 15 minutes
🕒 Total Time: 30 minutes
🍽️ Servings: 15 twists
🥣 Calories: 218.4 per serving
🍳 Cuisine: Breakfast

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Prepare the Filling:

    • In a small bowl, mix together cinnamon, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of margarine until well combined.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.

These Cinnamon Twists are a delightful blend of buttery pastry and sweet cinnamon filling, perfect for sharing with family and friends on any occasion. Whether you’re planning a brunch, a snack time treat, or a quick dessert, these twists are sure to please with their flaky texture and comforting flavors.
