Scale
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining with muffin liners to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the refrigerated crescent roll dough and cut it into squares along the existing perforations for even size and layering.
- Make Cinnamon Sugar Mix: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly to create the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Butter & Coat Dough: Brush each dough square generously with melted unsalted butter. Then sprinkle each piece generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture ensuring good coverage for maximum flavor.
- Shape Cruffins: Fold the dough squares into a cruffin shape. Place them carefully into the prepared muffin tin, stacking layers if needed to create that signature flaky, layered effect reminiscent of croissants.
- Bake: Bake the shaped cruffins in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes until they are golden brown, crisp, and cooked through.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Dust the top of the warm cruffins evenly with powdered sugar before serving for a sweet and attractive finish.
Notes
- Make sure to brush each dough square well with melted butter to help the cinnamon sugar stick and create flaky layers.
- If your oven runs hot, start checking cruffins at 15 minutes to avoid burning.
- You can store leftover cruffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days and reheat briefly before serving.
- For an added touch, drizzle with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk after baking.
