Ingredients
Scale
- 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.
- Mix sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and sprinkle it over the pastry.
- Brush with melted butter, then roll the dough up tightly.
- Cut the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces.
- Grease a muffin tin and place each piece into a muffin cup.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
- Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar and vanilla extract (if desired).
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For a special twist: You can add a spoonful of fruit preserves or Nutella to the center of each cruffin before rolling them up for added flavor.
- Make it your own: Swap cinnamon for other spices like cardamom or nutmeg to change the flavor profile.
- Storage: Store leftover cruffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They are best enjoyed fresh but can also be reheated in the oven for 5 minutes to regain their crispness.
