Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Churros-style pastry twists FAQ:
Bake the pastry twists in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
The pastry twists are done when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. You can also check if they have fully puffed up.
You can substitute dark chocolate with semi-sweet or milk chocolate if you prefer a sweeter dip. Adjust the sweetness by adding a little extra sugar, if desired.
Store leftover pastry twists in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes to regain crispiness.
A standard baking sheet (approximately 13x18 inches) works well for this recipe. Make sure to leave some space between each twisted pastry to allow for puffing.
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.
