Gluten Free Cinnamon Sugar Twists (Edit recipe)

Like a cinnamon roll, but smaller and oh so fun to make! The glaze after they’re baked is optional and if you’d rather just frost them like you would a traditional cinnamon roll, enjoy them that way. This little variation uses our G/F DINNER/CINNAMON ROLL recipe. It’s been so fun to come up with new ways to use it. Like our GLUTEN FREE CRUFFINS, or HAMBURGER BUNS.

Follow the instructions to make the dough, divide in half.
Line two baking sheets with parchment.
Roll out the first half on dusted parchment into a rectangle approximately ¼” thick.
Spread the surface with about 2 tbsp of the softened butter and sprinkle on 1/4 cup of the sugar, then sprinkle on half of the cinnamon.
Cut into strips, approx. 1¼ " wide.
Roll strip from one end side to the middle, then roll from the other end to meet in the middle, turn on its side, press down slightly and place on a baking sheet.
Repeat with remaining strips, then roll out the 2nd half of the dough and repeat, you should get 18.

Brush with egg wash, sprinkle with vanilla sugar if using and bake for 16-18 mins or until golden, remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Stir glaze together in a deep bowl, then dip twists in, top first, allowing excess to drip off and place on rack, once glaze is set, enjoy!
