These cruffins are a delightful combination of flaky pastry and gooey cinnamon-sugar goodness, perfect for breakfast or as a cozy snack.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry Forms the flaky layers
- 1/2 cup butter, melted Adds richness and helps the layers separate
- 1 cup brown sugar Provides caramel-like sweetness
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon Infuses each bite with warmth and spice
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar Balances flavor and adds crunch
- 1 large egg, beaten For egg wash
- Powdered sugar For dusting, optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
- Cut the pastry into rectangles about 3x5 inches.
Cooking
- Brush each rectangle with melted butter.
- Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle generously onto the buttered pastry.
- Roll the pastry tightly from one short side to the other to form a log shape.
- Cut each log into smaller pieces and place them in a greased muffin tin.
- Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake the cruffins for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Serving
- Allow them to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy the delightful flaky goodness.
Notes
Best enjoyed warm; freeze unbaked cruffins for fresh baking later. Avoid overfilling to keep them contained.
