# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They come together in under 40 minutes with just six ingredients you probably already have.
  • The cinnamon sugar coating caramelizes beautifully while baking, creating that perfect crunch.
02 -
  • Work quickly once the pastry is thawed, it becomes difficult to handle if it gets too warm.
  • Press the ends down firmly on the tray or they will untwist while baking.
03 -
  • Keep the pastry chilled until the moment you are ready to work with it.
  • Use a pizza cutter for the cleanest strips, it cuts through puff pastry like butter.
