Scale
Ingredients
- 12 oz bag thick pretzel sticks
- ½ cup butter, melted and cooled
- 1 egg white
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Make Butter Mixture: Melt the butter and then whisk in the egg white and pure vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
- Coat Pretzels: Place the pretzel sticks into a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Pour the butter mixture over the pretzels, seal the bag tightly, and shake vigorously to coat all pretzels evenly.
- Add Cinnamon Sugar: In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Add this cinnamon sugar mixture into the bag with the pretzels, reseal, and shake again until every pretzel stick is thoroughly coated.
- Arrange for Baking: Spread the coated pretzel sticks out in a single even layer on the prepared baking sheet ensuring they are not crowded.
- Bake Pretzels: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring the pretzels gently once halfway through the baking time to ensure even crisping and coating.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and stir the pretzels immediately to prevent sticking. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving or storing.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is cooled to avoid cooking the egg white prematurely.
- Shaking the pretzels multiple times ensures even coating with butter and cinnamon sugar.
- For added flavor, consider sprinkling a pinch of sea salt before baking to enhance the sweet and salty contrast.
- Store cooled pretzels in an airtight container to keep them crispy for up to one week.
