Description

Delightful cruffins combining flaky puff pastry and a warm cinnamon sugar filling, perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package puff pastry (about 17 oz/500g)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for dusting)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin.
  2. Lightly flour a clean surface, then unroll and roll out the puff pastry sheets to about 1/8-inch thick.
  3. Mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
  4. Brush a thin layer of melted butter over one side of the puff pastry.
  5. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered pastry.
  6. Cut the pastry into strips about 2-3 inches wide.
  7. Roll each strip tightly to form a spiral and place in the muffin tin.
  8. Brush the tops with remaining melted butter and sprinkle with leftover cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and puffed up.
  10. Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For a vegan version, use plant-based butter and vegan puff pastry. You can customize the filling with nuts or chocolate chips.
