Ingredients

For the knots:

  • flour, to taste, for dusting a work surface
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed, according to the package directions
  • 1/4 cup salted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 large egg
  • water, to taste

For the icing:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using the flour, lightly dust a work surface, then unfold the puff pastry sheets onto the surface.
  • Gently roll each puff pastry sheet out with a rolling pin.
  • Brush the melted butter over one of the puff pastry sheets, making sure to brush the edges as well.
  • In a bowl, combine the brown sugar and the cinnamon.
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar over the melted butter on the puff pastry sheet.
  • Place the second puff pastry sheet over the melted butter layer on the first puff pastry layer.
  • Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the layered dough into 1/2-inch strips.
  • Taking two strips at a time, twist them around each other, then roll them up into a knot.
  • Repeat until all of the strips are used.
  • Place each knot on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Whisk the egg and the water together to create an egg wash.
  • Evenly brush the egg wash onto each knot.
  • Bake until the knots are golden, about 15 minutes.
  • In a bowl, whisk the powdered sugar, the milk, and the vanilla together.
  • Allow the knots to cool slightly.
  • Drizzle the glaze over each knot.
  • Serve.
