Homemade Cruffins
This simple and easy recipe for homemade cruffins will have you munching on flaky, buttery, sugar-coated baked treats in no time!
Ingredients
- 2 sheets (about 17 ounces) puff pastry, thawed to room temperature
- 5 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a muffin tin.
- Use a rolling pin or a large bottle to roll out the puff pastry. Each sheet should be rolled out to about 11 inches by 15 inches.
- Combine the softened butter and cocoa powder in a bowl.Use a spatula or pallet knife to spread the cocoa butter mixture evenly on both sheets of puff pastry dough.
- Combine the cinnamon and sugar in a bowl.Sprinkle 1 to 1½ Tablespoons of the cinnamon and sugar onto each sheet of puff pastry dough to evenly coat them.
- Starting at a longer edge, roll the first puff pastry sheet into a tight log. Cut the log three times width-wise into four equal pieces. Repeat with the other sheet of dough so you have a total of eight pieces. Cut each of the eight pieces once length-wise to get a total of 16 pieces. Roll each piece around your finger with the layers of cocoa butter and cinnamon sugar on the outside. (See photo in blog post for reference)
- Place the rolled-up cruffins into the muffin tin. Keep any cruffins that don't fit in the muffin tin in the fridge covered with plastic cling wrap until you're ready to bake them. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until they are golden brown.
- While still warm from the oven, toss them in the remaining cinnamon sugar. Enjoy!!
Notes
-
- Cover with cinnamon sugar right after baking by gently rolling them in the bowl of cinnamon sugar or by sprinkling the cinnamon sugar on top with a spoon.
-
- Set the puff pastry dough and butter out the night before to soften to room temperature.
-
- If you plan to fill your cruffins, I suggest to bake them in a high-walled muffin tin to obtain the height required to hold the filling inside. Once your cruffins are baked and cooled, use a sharp knife to cut a hole in the top about two-thirds down into the cruffin. Then fill the hole with your desired filling with a piping bag.
