Description
Cinnamon Sugar Cruffins are a delightful pastry that combines the flaky, buttery goodness of a croissant with the moist, fluffy texture of a muffin, coated in sweet cinnamon sugar.
Ingredients
- Refrigerated Crescent Roll Dough
- Unsalted Butter
- Granulated Sugar
- Ground Cinnamon
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin to prevent the cruffins from sticking.
2. Prepare the Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and press the perforations to seal the dough into one cohesive sheet. Brush the dough with the melted butter.
3. Make the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined.
4. Roll and Slice the Dough: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough. Tightly roll the dough into a log, then cut the log in half lengthwise.
5. Twist and Place the Cruffins: Twist each half of the dough log and coil it into the prepared muffin cups, creating a swirled, muffin-like shape.
6. Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cruffins are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the Cinnamon Sugar Cruffins to cool slightly, then sprinkle with additional cinnamon sugar if desired. Serve warm and savor the delightful combination of flaky, buttery dough and sweet cinnamon sugar.
Notes
Avoid Overworking the Dough: Be gentle when handling the crescent dough to prevent it from becoming tough or dense.
Ensure Even Baking: Rotate the muffin tin halfway through the baking time to promote even browning and cooking.
Don’t Overbake: Keep a close eye on the cruffins during the last few minutes of baking to prevent them from becoming dry or burnt.
Experiment with Fillings: Try adding a dollop of cream cheese, jam, or other sweet fillings to the center of the cruffins for an extra indulgent treat.
