For those of you who have never heard of Hawaiin Twisters it is a delicious pastry made entirely from natural ingredients. The uncooked pastry is wrapped like a ribbon around a wooden cylinder or roller and then baked in a purpose made Hawaiian Twister oven (Chimney Cake oven). Once cooked, the hot, sticky pastry is rolled in a topping such as sugar and cinnamon, walnut, chocolate or coconut. A savory version can also be made with toppings such as garlic and herbs, or ham and cheese. There are simply endless possibilities.
