Description
Cruffins are a delightful hybrid of croissants and muffins, filled with buttery, cinnamon-sugar layers that are simply irresistible. These sweet treats are perfect for breakfast or dessert, and they’re quick and easy to make. Serve them warm with a cup of coffee or tea for the ultimate indulgence.
Ingredients
1 sheet of puff pastry
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface.
In a bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle it evenly over the pastry.
Brush the pastry with melted butter, then roll it up tightly.
Cut the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces.
Grease a muffin tin and place each piece into the muffin cups.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
Let the cruffins cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar and vanilla extract if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
For a twist, add a spoonful of fruit preserves or Nutella to the center of each cruffin before rolling them up.
Swap the cinnamon for cardamom or nutmeg to alter the flavor profile.
Store leftover cruffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To regain their crispiness, reheat them in the oven for 5 minutes.
