Delicious Cruffins are a gorgeous hybrid pastry—flaky and layered like a croissant, baked in a muffin shape, and customizable with sweet or savory fillings. They bake up tall and golden, with tender, buttery spirals and crisp edges that look as impressive as they taste.

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet store-bought puff pastry (or crescent roll dough for shortcut)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened for spreading
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional, for sweet versions)
  • All-purpose flour, for dusting surface
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting after baking)
  • Optional fillings or toppings: jam, Nutella, lemon curd

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or line with baking spray. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle, about 9×14 inches (or according to the sheet size).
  3. Spread softened butter evenly over the pastry, then sprinkle with sugar (and cinnamon, if using). :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
  4. Roll the pastry from the long edge into a tight log. Cut the log into strips—typically 6 per sheet. Shape each strip into a spiral “cruffin” and place upright into the muffin tin. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
  5. Bake for approximately 18–20 minutes at 400°F, until tall, puffed, and golden. (If using crescent dough, bake around 18–20 minutes at 350°F). :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
  6. Remove from oven and, while still warm, roll the cruffins in remaining sugar (or dust with cinnamon sugar/powdered sugar). :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
  7. Let cool slightly before optionally filling with jam or chocolate, or serving warm as is.
