Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh lemons and coconut. This will give your twists a bright, vibrant flavor.
  • If you don't have a lemon zester, you can use a microplane grater or a sharp knife to remove the zest from the lemons.
  • Be sure to mix the sugar and cinnamon together before sprinkling it on the dough. This will help to prevent the sugar from clumping.
  • If the dough is too sticky to handle, you can chill it for 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • To make the twists, simply cut the dough into strips and then twist them around your fingers. You can also use a fork to press the edges of the twists together.
  • Bake the twists until they are golden brown. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
  • Let the twists cool completely before serving. This will help them to set and become crispy.

Conclusion:

These lemon coconut twists are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give these twists a try. You won't be disappointed!
