Mini Muffin Mania: Croissant + Muffin = Cruffin!

Once I discovered what a cruffin was, I’ll admit, I was hooked. If you are a bread lover this recipe is perfect for you. It’s so easy to make and only requires a few ingredients. These cruffins are covered in sugar, spice, and everything nice…which makes them the ultimate sweet treat.

Ingredients:

  • Puff Pastry Dough
  • Butter, softened
  • Cinnamon 
  • Sugar

Directions:

  1. Remove puff pastry from packaging and lay flat on the counter or a cutting board. 
  2. Combine the cinnamon and sugar mixture and set aside. 
  3. Spread the butter on the bottom sheet of the puff pastry and sprinkle the sugar mixture on top.
  4. Using a pizza cutter or knife and cut into strips. Since we are using a mini muffin pan you will cut the strips in half to fit into the muffin cups.
  5. Roll the strips and place into the muffin cups.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar on top of each cruffin.
  8. Allow cruffins to cool and serve warm.

Enjoy these flaky and buttery pastries with your morning coffee or hot tea. Grab some puff pastry sheets from your local Commissary and get baking!
