Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
Add the melted butter and buttermilk. Mix with a sturdy spoon to combine the ingredients.
Move the dough to a floured work surface and knead until a ball starts to form. You want the dough workable (not too sticky) but not extra firm.
Working on a well-floured surface, roll out the dough until it measures approximately 12" x 16".
Mix together the sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter.
Spread cinnamon mixture over half of the dough.
Carefully fold the dough in half lengthwise, then cut it into 12 strips.
Pick up a strip of the cinnamon twist dough and give 2 or three turns to make the twist. Place each strip on the baking sheet.
Bake for 20 - 25 minutes, until golden brown. Cool slightly and remove from pan.
For the glaze, mix together the powdered sugar and milk. Drizzle glaze over the Cinnamon Twists.
Notes
If you have an older baking sheet, you may want to spray it with non-stick spray. You can also use foil if needed.If you would like a darker golden brown, you can brush the twists with melted butter before baking.To warm up the cinnamon twists, place the twist on a plate and cover lightly with a paper towel. Heat for 20 to 30 seconds at medium power.
