Cinnamon Twists(Welcome School'S)
Cinnamon Twists are crispy, sweet treats with a cinnamon-sugar coating and crunchy nuts, perfect for snacking, parties, or a delightful dessert for any occasion.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Roll biscuits into 7-inch lengths; dip in melted butter, then in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Fold the dough in half.
- Seal the ends and twist the dough. Place on a greased baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with chopped nuts.
- Bake for about 10 minutes until golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, use melted coconut oil instead of butter. You can also try adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon-sugar mixture for extra warmth. If you don't have chopped nuts, consider using seeds or leaving them out entirely for a nut-free version. Roll the dough evenly to ensure even baking. If you're short on time, using refrigerated dough saves time without sacrificing taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these cinnamon twists warm, drizzled with a simple icing made from powdered sugar and milk for an extra treat. They pair wonderfully with coffee or tea, making them a great addition to brunch or a cozy afternoon snack. For a delightful dessert option, enjoy them alongside Malcolm'S Lemon Mousse for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cinnamon twists in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes until warmed through. Avoid the microwave as it can make the twists chewy instead of crisp. For longer storage, freeze the twists wrapped tightly in plastic wrap for up to 2 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these cinnamon twists ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the twists and place them on the baking sheet, then cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. This allows the flavors to meld and saves time on the day you want to serve them. Just allow them to come to room temperature before baking for best results.
What can I substitute for the nuts?
If you need a nut-free option, consider using seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds. You can also omit the nuts entirely or replace them with chocolate chips or dried fruit for added sweetness and texture. This makes the recipe versatile and accommodating for various dietary preferences.
How do I know when the twists are done baking?
The cinnamon twists are done when they turn golden brown and are puffed up slightly. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes of baking, as they can go from perfectly cooked to overdone quickly. A good indicator is to check the color; they should be a lovely golden hue.
