Ingredients

3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
2 tbsp cinnamon
2 tbsp sugar

Steps

Heat the oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, 1 tablespoon sugar, salt, and cream of tartar in a large bowl.
Cut in 1/4 cup butter, then stir in the milk and water until a soft dough forms.
Roll the dough into a 10-by-12-inch rectangle, cut 16 strips, and twist each strip.
Place the twists on the baking sheet, brush them with the remaining melted butter, and sprinkle with cinnamon and 2 tablespoons sugar.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until puffed and golden.
