cinnamon twists
Spiraled spiced dough
Cinnamon twists are a sweet fried pastry dusted with cinnamon sugar, shaped by twisting strips of dough before cooking.
The name appears most often on fast-food menus, where they're served as a dessert or side item: I'll have the cinnamon twists with my order.
The twisted shape creates crispy ridges that hold the sugar coating.
