Ingredients

Scale

Pastry and Filling

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (approximately 8x8 inches)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Thaw the puff pastry sheet according to package instructions until it’s pliable but still cold. Lay it flat on a clean surface.
  2. Apply Butter and Sugar Mixture: Spread the softened butter evenly over the surface of the puff pastry. Mix the sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the buttered pastry.
  3. Roll the Pastry: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the puff pastry into a tight log, ensuring the cinnamon sugar filling is enclosed.
  4. Slice the Rolled Pastry: Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled pastry into approximately 1-inch thick slices.
  5. Place in Muffin Tin: Arrange each slice cut-side up into the cups of a lightly greased muffin tin, spacing them evenly to allow room to rise.
  6. Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cruffins for 20-25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the cruffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Ensure the puff pastry is cold before rolling for best flakiness.
  • You can dust the cruffins with powdered sugar or glaze with icing for extra sweetness.
  • For a richer flavor, add a bit of vanilla extract to the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Use a non-stick or well-greased muffin tin to avoid sticking.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
