Puff Pastry Twists

Total Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 190 degrees.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry until it is about 3 mm thick.
  • Cut out a rectangle of 35 x 25 cm and 12 strips of 15 x 2 cm.
  • Sprinkle the rectangle with 70 g of sugar and roll over it with a rolling pin, pressing lightly.
  • Roll the two shorter ends of the pastry towards the center and cut these two parallel rolls and join them together in slices about 1.5 cm high.
  • Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, turning them over after 10 minutes.
  • Finally, remove the puff pastry twists from the oven and let them cool on a rack.
  • Cut the strips of pastry in half lengthwise, leaving them whole on one side, then twist the two halves together at the base.
  • Brush them with a little cold milk, sprinkle with 30 g of sugar, then place them on the baking sheet and bake them, still at 190 degrees, for about 12 minutes.
  • When you see the twists golden and crispy, remove them and place them on the rack as well.
  • Knead the leftover pastry, roll it out to a thickness of at least half a centimeter and cut out disks of 4-5 cm, lightly scoring them in the center with a smaller diameter pastry cutter.
  • Brush them with milk, sprinkle with sugar, place them on the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
  • They are ideal with tea to accompany a cream.

Notes

Try sprinkling the twists with a little cinnamon before baking for an extra touch of flavor.
