Ingredients:
Caramel sauce for dipping;
60g (2oz | 4 tbsp) butter, melted;
225g (8oz) ready-made croissant dough (such as Jus-Rol) or puff pastry;
2 tsp cinnamon;

Instructions:

- Take your ready-made dough and roll it out into a 20x30cm (8×12″) rectangle. If there are any seams, make sure to pinch them together.
- Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough in half lengthwise, then cut across into 1½cm strips to create the ‘fries’.
- Before cooking, dip each strip of dough into melted butter to ensure they crisp up beautifully in the air fryer.
- Arrange the buttered strips in the air fryer basket or on racks in a single layer. Cook at 380°F for about 5 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- While still warm, toss the fries in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat them evenly.
