Ingredients

Instructions

  • Soak wooden skewers in cold water for 30 minutes and then drain.
  • Prepare a campfire or grill for cooking and heat it to medium.
  • Once hot, clean the grill grates and add a little canola oil to grease.
  • Combine the cinnamon and granulated sugar in a bowl.
  • Unroll your dough and cut it into 4 rectangles.
  • Brush 2 of them with butter and sprinkle over the cinnamon sugar.
  • Top those with the remaining 2 rectangles.
  • Cut each rectangle into 4 strips, beginning from the long end.
  • Twist each strip around your skewers, pinching to seal.
  • Grill your cinnamon swirl sticks over direct heat for 4 to 6 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Move them to the indirect heat and grill for another 4 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Whisk the milk and powdered sugar together and drizzle this mixture over the warm cinnamon twists.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

Soak the skewers well: This helps prevent burning on the grill.
Seal the dough ends: Press the tips firmly so they hold while cooking.
Flip carefully: Use tongs to turn the twists gently to avoid tearing.
Glaze while warm: The drizzle sets best on warm twists for a sticky, sweet finish.
