Ingredients

1 sheet puff pastry {thawed}
½ cup butter {melted}
½ cup granulated sugar
2 Tablespoons cinnamon
1 jar salted caramel sauce {optional}

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Unfold the thawed sheet of puff pastry dough and lay it out flat on a surface. Use the folds in the dough to cut into 3 long rectangles of dough. Then cut each long section in half and in half again {making 12, one inch wide pieces}. Transfer them to a silicone mat {or parchment paper} lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
While the churros are baking, get the rest of the ingredients ready. Melt one stick of butter and set aside. Combine the sugar and cinnamon, stir until they are well mixed.
Once the dough is cooked you are going to dip each baked dough strip into the butter and then roll into the cinnamon sugar mixture, being sure to coat all sides. Continue until all of the churros have been coated. Serve with Salted Caramel Sauce and enjoy!!

Notes

Use a pizza cutter instead of a knife to get sharp edges.
Cut the puff pastry into small pieces and make churro bites.
Serve with your favorite dip. Try salted caramel, chocolate ganache or dulce de leche.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
