Looking for a quick, fun, and delicious treat? Churros-style pastry twists are the perfect blend of crunchy puff pastry, cinnamon-sugar sweetness, and delectable chocolate sauce. These twists are easy to make and are sure to impress your friends and family. Let’s dive into this delightful recipe!

Ingredients:

2 sheets puff pastry
500g
2 tbsp sugar
30g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1/2 cup light sour cream
120g
1/3 cup dark chocolate
72g
1 tbsp butter
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Sugar and Cinnamon:
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.
3. Prepare the Puff Pastry:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each sheet of puff pastry to remove any creases and to achieve a slightly larger and even thickness.
- Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over one sheet of puff pastry. Place the second sheet of puff pastry on top, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Cut and Twist the Puff Pastry:
- Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the sandwiched puff pastry into strips about 1 inch wide.
- Take each strip and twist gently from both ends to create a spiral.
5. Bake the Pastry Twists:
- Place the twisted strips on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each to allow them to puff up.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown and crispy.
6. Prepare the Chocolate Sauce:
- While the pastry twists are baking, combine the dark chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and smooth.
- Stir in the light sour cream until the mixture is well combined and has a glossy finish.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the pastry twists are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Serve the churros-style pastry twists warm with the chocolate sauce on the side for dipping.

Tips:

- Ensure the puff pastry is well-chilled before working with it to make it easier to handle and cut.

- Preheat your oven and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper to avoid sticking.

- Brush the twists with a light egg wash for an extra golden color.

- Twist the strips gently to avoid tearing the dough.

- Allow the twists to cool slightly before dipping them in the chocolate sauce.

Churros-style pastry twists are a simple yet delightful dessert that captures the essence of churros without the need for deep frying. The combination of crisp pastry, cinnamon sugar, and velvety chocolate sauce creates a wonderfully satisfying treat. Enjoy these twists fresh out of the oven with your favorite dipping sauce. Happy baking!
