Description
Cruffins are a delightful pastry hybrid combining the flaky, buttery texture of croissants with the shape and ease of muffins. These sweet, buttery treats can be enjoyed warm, dusted with powdered sugar, and are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.
- Prepare Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out each puff pastry sheet. Brush each with melted butter.
