Good Morning! Let’s wake up with the smell of cinnamon & sugar in the kitchen. These Small Batch Cinnamon Sugar Cruffins are a delightful holiday treat. Simple Little Jewel No. 571 from the Membership Collection.
CINNAMON & SUGAR
What better way to start the day than with crispy Cinnamon Sugar Cruffins. Halfway between a muffin & croissant, these baked jewels are a cinch to make. Great holiday morning treat.
PUFF PASTRY
The workaround for these little jewels is to use ready-made puff pastry sheets. The best all-butter puff pastry is from Dufour Pastry. You can find it many times in the supermarkets, right near the other brands which are not all butter, it does make a difference.
CRUFFINS
The flaky layers are easily created using puff pastry. This recipe only uses 1 sheet of puff pastry, freeze the remaining sheet. It may sound strange, but rolling, filling and then tightly rolling up the sheet of pastry very tightly is the key. Take the roll and slice it lengthwise in half, then slice each half in half again. You should have 4 equal strips of dough. The strips of dough are rolled into snail-like pieces then are placed in the muffin tins. Brush the tops with egg wash and bake. Lastly, after baking and a brief cooling, the cruffins are removed and rolled into the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.
CRISPY & SWEET BREAKFAST
These cruffins are light, buttery, crispy and coated with cinnamon and sugar-what’s not to love? Enjoy Membership Collection recipe No. 571. Join here to access all 571 recipes. Cheers!
