Main 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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the cruffins evenly.
- Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to prevent sticking, creating an even thickness for layering.
- Mix Sugar and Cinnamon: Combine the sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl and sprinkle it evenly over the rolled-out pastry to infuse a sweet and spicy flavor.
- Brush with Butter: Brush the entire surface of the pastry with melted butter to add richness and help the pastry layers crisp up beautifully when baked.
- Roll Dough: Carefully roll the pastry tightly into a log shape, which will create multiple flaky layers when sliced.
- Slice Dough: Cut the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces to ensure uniform size for even baking.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin well and place each dough piece into a muffin cup with the cut side up, allowing them to puff up as they bake.
- Bake Cruffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cruffins are golden brown and puffed, indicating they are fully cooked and flaky.
- Cool and Dust: Let the cruffins cool slightly to avoid melting the powdered sugar, then dust with powdered sugar and optionally drizzle with vanilla extract for added aroma and flavor.
- Serve: Serve the cruffins warm to enjoy their buttery, flaky texture and sweet cinnamon flavor at their best.
Notes
- Ensure the puff pastry is chilled before use to prevent it from becoming too soft and difficult to work with.
- You can add a filling like jam or Nutella inside the rolled dough before slicing for extra flavor.
- If you don’t have a muffin tin, use a similarly sized ovenproof dish to shape the cruffins.
- Store leftover cruffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days and reheat briefly in the oven before serving.
