Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about ⅛ inch thick.
In a medium bowl, mix the granulated sugar with ground cinnamon.
Brush the melted butter evenly over the rolled-out pastry and sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Cut the pastry into 1-inch wide strips, twist each strip, and place them on the baking sheet.
Brush the tops with an egg wash for a glossy finish, or use non-dairy milk for a vegan option.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
