Instructions
Making Pumpkin Spice Twists is simple! Just follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gently knead it for about 1-2 minutes until smooth.
6. Roll Out Dough: Roll the dough into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
7. Cut into Twists: Cut the dough into strips, about 1 inch wide and 6 inches long. Twist each strip and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Sprinkle with Spice: If desired, mix together some sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle it over the twists.
9. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
10. Cool: Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
11. Ice (Optional): For an extra touch, mix powdered sugar and milk to make a simple icing. Drizzle over the twists once they’ve cooled slightly.
