  1. To prepare these Sweet Puff Pastry Twists, unroll the puff pastry while keeping it on its baking paper, then sprinkle brown sugar over half of the pastry and fold it over itself, lifting it from the shorter side.
  2. Now cut the puff pastry into approximately 10 strips, each about 2 centimeters (about 3/4 inch) wide. Brush them with almond milk and sprinkle more brown sugar on top.
  3. Gently twist each strip, making one complete turn to create a spiral shape. Place your Sweet Puff Pastry Twists on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the oven at 200°C (392°F) for about 15-20 minutes. Once they’re golden brown, let them cool completely before serving. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
