Ingredients

All-Purpose FlourEssential for the structure of the dough, ensure it is freshly sifted to prevent lumps and promote an airy final product.

Granulated SugarUsed both in the dough structure and generously mixed with cinnamon for the irresistible filling and topping.
Ground CinnamonUse high-quality, freshly ground cinnamon as it is the primary flavor profile and must be robust and aromatic.
Baking PowderActs as a leavening agent, providing the necessary lift and lightness to the twist’s delicate layers.
Whole MilkProvides moisture and richness to the dough, binding the ingredients together without making the final pastry dense.
SaltA small amount enhances all the other flavors, balancing the sweetness so the pastry does not taste overwhelmingly sugary.
Powdered SugarMixed with a little milk or water for the final sugary glaze that provides texture and a sweet sheen.

Notes

Store fully cooled twists in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or wrap tightly and freeze for future enjoyment.
Reheat day-old twists in a 300°F oven for just 5 minutes to restore the perfect warmth and crispy, flaky edges.
For a rich experience, serve these twists warm alongside a simple espresso or with a light drizzle of the powdered sugar glaze.
The key to achieving maximum flakiness is ensuring the Unsalted Butter remains icy cold throughout Step 1; warm dough will inhibit the beautiful layers from forming.
