Cinnamon Sugar Cruffins (Print Version)
Flaky, buttery pastries with cinnamon-sugar filling, ready in just 40 minutes using store-bought dough for a quick impressive treat.
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough or puff pastry
02 -
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
03 -
½ cup granulated sugar
04 -
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
05 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
06 -
A pinch of salt
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
02 -
Roll out the crescent roll dough or puff pastry on a clean surface. If using crescent dough, pinch the perforated seams together to create one large sheet of dough. If using puff pastry, unfold it into a rectangle.
03 -
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until evenly mixed.
04 -
Using a pastry brush, coat the entire surface of the dough evenly with the melted butter.
05 -
Generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the buttered dough, ensuring the surface is fully covered.
06 -
Starting from one edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log shape, keeping the layers of butter and cinnamon sugar intact.
07 -
Cut the rolled-up dough log into 12 equal slices to form individual cruffins.
08 -
Place each slice into the prepared muffin tin, gently coiling each piece into the cup if necessary.
09 -
Bake the cruffins in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on top.
10 -
Let the cruffins cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11 -
Serve the cruffins warm with a hot beverage or dust them with extra cinnamon sugar for added sweetness.
# Additional Notes:
