How To make Sugar Twists
1 pk Yeast
1/4 c Warm water
3 1/2 c Flour
1 t Salt
1/2 c Butter
1/2 c Crisco
2 Eggs beaten
1 t Vanilla
1/2 c Sour cream, do not use lite
-sour cream it is not thick Enough Vanilla Sugar: 2 ts Vanilla
1 1/2 c Sugar (Can use lessor use
-left over sugar in
something else.) Soften yeast in warm water, sift flour and salt in mixing bowl. Cut in butter and shortning until size of peas. Blend eggs, sour cream, 1 tsp vanilla, yeast and water together. Add to dry mixture gently so that you keep the butter in little chunks. Chill, wrapped in plastic wrap for two hours or up to 4 days.
Divide into two balls. For each ball,roll out into a 6 x 12 inch rectangle. Sprinkle with some of the
vanilla sugar, fold in thirds, turn. Do this three or four times.Roll out one more time and cut into 12 equal strips 1 X 6 inches. Twist, roll in vanilla sugar and put on cookie sheet. Do the second ball or save it for another day. The recipe makes about 24 twists. I tried the recipe using "lite" sour cream and it was too sticky. The dough should not need any flour because you are using the sugar to keep the dough from sticking to the board. Bake at 375 for 15 to 20 min.These should be lightly browned, do not overcook. You will notice that there are little layers of dough with sugar in between. Enjoy! Emily Jorge

Cinammon Sugar Donut Twists Recipe

Twisted donuts (香软麻花) are one of those foods that every time I say I should not eat, I can never help myself. It is so hard to resist crispy and fluffy sweets.
INGREDIENTS (makes 6 donuts)
2/3 cup (160g) of whole milk
2 tsp (6g) of yeast
2.5 tbsp (55g) of honey
1/2 tsp (3g) of salt
1 egg
2.5 cups (380g) of bread flour
3 tbsp of unsalted softened butter
FOR THE CINNAMON COATING
3 tbsp of sugar
2 tsp of cinnamon powder
INSTRUCTIONS
Microwave the cold milk for 20 seconds or until lukewarm. Mix the yeast with the milk and give it 5 minutes to bloom.
Add egg, honey, and salt and stir well. Add the bread flour and knead until a rough dough.
Knead the softened butter into the dough for ten minutes or until the dough is smooth and non-stick.
Shape the dough into a round ball. Cover and let it proof for 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
Punch the dough to deflate, then divide it into 12 even pieces.
Roll each piece into a 20 inches long strip. Try to deflate the air bubbles as you roll so your donut won’t have big pockets.
Use both of your hands to twist two strips in opposite directions. Bring two ends together, and your donut will braid naturally. Next, pinch the ends and tuck them under.
Put the donuts on a floured tray; cover them, and let them rise for another 30 minutes or until 1.5 times the size.
Bring the oil to 360 F. Carefully pick up the donut and deep fry them in batches for a couple of minutes per side. Once they are golden brown, you can take them out. When you deep fry them, always follow the order that you shaped them so the last one proof for the same amount of time.
You can also bake the dough in a 400F oven for 16-18 minutes. The baked version will be a bit dry on the outside, and the texture is more like bread than a donut.
Fried twists: very soft and super greedy!
INGREDIENTS
250ml (1 cup) milk
7g dry yeast
1 egg
30g (2 tbsp) sugar
450g (3 ¼ cups) flour
1 tsp salt
50g (3 tbsp) butter
Granulated sugar for coating
METHOD
In a bowl mix together almond milk with sugar, yeast, and egg. Add in flour and salt. Cover for 20 minutes.
Mix in butter and let it rise for 1 hour.
Roll out the dough and divide it into 12 pieces, roll the ends and seal them.
Cover for 15 minutes and fry in the hot oil until golden brown.
Cover with sugar.

Cinnamon twists with puff pastry
With just 4 simple ingredients make super simple puff pastry cinnamon twists. It’s crunchy, flaky, buttery, and sweet. Add a few ingredients to ready-made puff pastry, twist the strips, and bake in the oven, it’s as simple as that!
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Servings: 12 cinnamon twists
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need-
1 sheet puff pastry, I used pre-rolled and pre-cut puff pastry sheet cut into squares
¼ cup caster sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon powder
3 tablespoon butter, melted
INSTRUCTIONS
Begin by thawing puff pastry rolls by leaving them on the counter for 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix cinnamon powder and caster sugar.
Unroll the pastry and flatten using a rolling pin into a 10×12” rectangle.
Brush melted unsalted butter over rolled pastry.
Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over it.
Using a rolling pin lightly roll and press so cinnamon sugar can stick. You can also use the back of the spoon to press cinnamon sugar on the pastry.
Fold the pastry in half lengthwise. Cut into long strips.
I skipped folding and cut the sheet directly into 2 strips.
Cut into long strips.
Hold each strip at the end and begin to twist. Twist as lightly as you can. It’s okay if some of the sugar falls out. Repeat for remaining strips.
Place each strip 2 inches apart from the other strips on a baking tray lined with a silicon mat or parchment paper.
Bake in preheated oven at 200F for about 15 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Remove from oven. While cinnamon twists are still hot, sprinkle the remaining sugar over the top.
Serve and enjoy!

Bacon Twists
Caramelized brown sugar and a kick of heat with cayenne pepper is a mouth-watering combination to twist into tender-crisp oven-baked bacon. The results are sweet, spicy, and the perfect in-between of chewy and crispy bacon twists.
RECIPE AND INSTRUCTIONS! -
Ingredients
2 pounds thick-cut bacon
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a large baking tray with a piece of parchment paper.
Twist each slice of bacon as tightly as possible and arrange them next to each other on the prepared tray.
Sprinkle the brown sugar and cayenne pepper evenly on top of the twisted bacon.
Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the bacon and bake for another 20 minutes or until crispy.
Notes
You can drain off excess grease by transferring the cooked bacon to a wire rack placed over a baking tray or a paper towel-lined plate.
Feel free to play with the amounts of brown sugar and cayenne pepper to suit your tastes! This recipe yields bacon with a good balance of sweet and spicy flavors.
If you can’t find parchment paper that can withstand this temperature, you can use foil or a silpat baking mat to line your baking tray instead. You could also leave the tray unlined, but the caramelized sugar will likely be hard to scrub off.
