Ingredients
Instructions
- Remove the puff pastry from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for 40 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Roll the thawed puff pastry dough with a rolling pin to flatten the crease. The crease may not completely roll out of the dough (which is fine).
- Mix the melted butter and molasses together and brush on the puff pastry sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and spices together. Sprinkle evenly over the pastry sheet. Lightly press the rolling pin over the sugar to gently push it into the dough.
- Cut the dough into 12 even strips. Twist each piece 6 or 7 times and place on a parchment paper or silpat mat lined baking sheet. Bake in the top half of the oven (but not the very top rack) at 400°F for 13 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
