Take this one to break it open and show you what it
looks like.
Look at that.
Isn't that cool?
Hello and welcome to you in the kitchen with Matt.
I am your host, Matt Taylor.
Today, I'm going to show you how to make cinnamon twists.
These seven twist pastries are so yummy and super duper
easy to make.
If I can do it, you can do it before I move on.

my new videos.
Let's get baking Downbelow in the description box.
You'll find a list of the ingredients and there amounts
begin by preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
And now what we're going to do is we take one half cup of
cinnamon and we're just going to make a cinnamon
and sugar mix.
And I have one teaspoon of cinnamon and we'll come in here
and give that a good mix.
And you can adjust those amounts according to
your taste.
If you want a little bit more cinnamon, then you can add
another teaspoon of cinnamon if you want.
And then what I like to use, I like to take an empty spice
container and fill it up with this mixture.
This is purely optional.
I always like to have a cinnamon and sugar mix on hand
and then I'll just pour that in there using a funnel.
And that half cup, this particular one, filled it
right to the edge
with a little tap.
So that's like a perfect amount for this shaker.
OK, and then I'll have a cement and sugar shake,
you're pretty awesome.
Of course, you could just use a spoon to scoop this out later.
And now let's unfold our puff pastry.
I'm just using a premade frozen frozen puff pastry.
But you can make a homemade puff pastry if you like.
Homemade puff pastry is take a lot of time to make.
And I just want to just just this to be just a quick and
easy treat for you to make.
But if you make puff pastry for something else and you
have extras, you can do this as well.
Even if that was not your intent at the beginning, I know
someone's going to comment saying, why don't you
make the puff pastry from scratch?
I will do a different complete video on its own on how to make
puff pastry from scratch.
And what we're going to do is we're going to just roll this
out a little bit.
Just stretch it out a little bit, and if you notice,
I had it on a
silicone mat and you don't have to use stuff on that.
This is just so doesn't stick.
Well, you can do it right on the counter to you if
you want.
Now, what we want to do is we'll just take a ruler and we
will go every inch.
Which is about the width of this ruler is about an inch.
And it doesn't have to be completely exact, like this one
will be a little bit off and that's OK.
And now what we will do is we will take a couple of
tablespoons of butter and melt this in the microwave, or you
could certainly do it on the stovetop.
I'm going to put it in the microwave for about 30 seconds
to melt it.
And if you wind up needing more butter, then just melt
some more butter.
This recipe does not have to be exact by any means, and it's
very easy to just make adjustments.
So we'll take the butter out, a little basting brush that we
have and we'll just based the tops of these butter.
This will give the cinnamon sugar something to stick onto
as well as add flavor, of course, if you watch
my show, you know, I love butter,
but about about.
All right.
And then we'll come in here with our cinnamon sugar shaker
and we'll just
give it a good shake and cover it evenly.
Put as much or as little as you want of this
awesome, and now what we'll do is we will take these and just
turn them over.
Make sure you have clean hands, of course,
always have clean hands, and we'll come in here with
the butter
and we'll base this side.
And you could also just lay this and like have the sugar on
top of this mat or in another pan
or some kind of pan.
You can have your cinnamon sugar mix in there and have
these laying in that scene that down in a video.
I think it was the epic Epicurious video.
They do.
There's a little differently.
OK, go for the cinnamon sugar, OK?
Again, put as little or as much as you want of the
cinnamon and sugar.
OK, now here comes the fun part.
We'll move that up.
We'll take a baking sheet again.
Now we'll put parchment paper or silicone mat on the
baking sheet, and then we'll take our strip of cinnamon
sugar and puff pastry.
And we'll just give it a twist.
Give it a twist.
As many twist as you want to do,
and we'll do that with recipes, you can twist it
up here, too, if you want.
And then you want about an inch, inch and a half in
between because they will puff up and now we are going to bake
these in the oven again, 400 degrees Fahrenheit or two
or five Celsius middle rack position.
And we'll bake them for 15 to 20 minutes.
They'll pop up and get nice and golden brown onto that step.
And when they come out of the oven, they'll look
something like this.
Don't those look amazing?
And then let them cool for five to 10 minutes before
serving them up.
All right.
I'm gonna take this one and break it open and show you what
it looks like.
Look at that.
Isn't that cool?
Isn't that awesome?
Give it a taste.
Hmm hmm.
All right, a puff pastry, cinnamon twists are done and
turned out fantastic, you can serve them for breakfast,
for brunch, just have a snack throughout the day or a treat
after dinner, whatever you want to do.
Really easy to do.
If I can do it, you can do it.
