Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 2 puff pastry sheets
- 1/4 cup softened butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 lbs. Smithfield Bacon uncooked
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 2 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 tablespoon butter softened
- 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon almond or clear vanilla extract optional
Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Dust your countertop with 1 tablespoon of flour.
- Lay down the puff pastry sheet on top of the floured countertop.
- Spread softened butter on top of the puff pastry sheet on the counter.
- In a small mixing bowl stir to combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture on top of the buttered pastry. Use as much or as little of the cinnamon mixture. I use about 1/2 of it and then use the rest later to mix into my frosting.
- Top the cinnamon and butter with the leftover puff pastry sheet, like pictured. Press down the puff pastry so the two sheets start to stick together.
- Then gently roll over the puff pastry sheets with a rolling pin, pressing them together and spreading it out.
- Cut the puff pastry in half the long way, like pictured.
- Then cut into 24 half-inch slices - making a total of 48 slices total.
- Grab one slice and spread out to the length of one piece of bacon. Top with one slice of bacon.
- Top the bacon with one slice of puff pastry, making sure to stretch to the length of the bacon.
- Then twist the bacon and 2 slices of puff pastry together, like pictured.
- Set on baking sheet, 12 per pan.
- Bake 35-45 minutes. *Halfway through baking, I use a paper towel and damp off the twists, to remove some of the extra grease.
- Remove from oven once the puff pastry is a nice golden brown and bacon is cooked all the way through.
- Let it rest on the pan for 5 minutes, then gently remove and serve.
Frosting:
- To make the frosting, beat together cream cheese and melted butter until smooth and there are no cream cheese chunks.
- Add in powdered sugar and mix it together by beating on medium-high.
- Add in milk one teaspoon at a time, until you get your desired consistency.
- Pour into a bowl for people to dip their twists in.
