Ingredients
– 2 cans crescent dough
– 2 tablespoons melted butter
– 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 2 to 3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar mixture for rolling
Instructions
1-First Step: Get Ready Prepare your mise en place by thawing one sheet of puff pastry until it’s pliable, or get your homemade laminated dough ready. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment. Have a rolling pin, sharp knife, and bowls for your mixtures on hand. Combine 75 g granulated sugar with 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon and 25 g brown sugar for the coating it’s what gives those cruffins their sweet crunch!
2-Second Step: Roll and Layer Roll the dough into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface and spread 100 g softened butter evenly over it, leaving a small border. For extra flavor, brush on some vanilla-infused milk. This step is crucial for those flaky layers that make Cinnamon Sugar Cruffins so special.
3-Third Step: Shape and Chill Roll the dough into a log and chill it for 15 minutes to keep the layers intact. Slice it into 8 equal pieces and shape them into cruffins. If you’re making them smaller, adjust to 12 pieces for bite-sized versions perfect for parties or snacking!
4-Fourth Step: Coat and Bake Brush the shaped cruffins with egg wash or aquafaba and roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 22 25 minutes, rotating halfway through. Follow the preparation steps from the summary: preheat to 350°F (175°C), grease the muffin tin, and roll out the dough as described.
5-Fifth Step: Finish Up Let them cool slightly, then add optional fillings like jam or custard. Based on the recipe, bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown and allow to cool before serving. These steps align with the summary’s instructions, ensuring your Cinnamon Sugar Cruffins have that light, flaky texture everyone loves.
