Cruffins
Outrageously wonderful Cruffins are made with just 4 ingredients for a sweet brunch treat that is loved by all! These tender, buttery pastries are made with crescent roll dough rolled up with a cinnamon-sugar mixture and baked until they're fluffy and soft!
Servings: 12 cruffins
Ingredients
- 5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tubes crescent roll sheets
- 9 tablespoons salted butter, softened
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a muffin pan well with pan spray, I recommend using a baking spray that has flour in it, like Baker’s Joy.
- In a medium bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar and set aside.
- Roll out each tube of crescent roll dough until it is a 14x10-inch rectangle. Spread 3 tablespoons of softened butter evenly over each sheet of dough. Sprinkle ¼ cup of the cinnamon sugar mixture over each sheet and spread it until it is even.
- Tightly roll each sheet up into a long along the long side, pulling the dough taut as needed. Cut each rolled up sheet of dough in half, so you have 6 short logs total. Slice each short log in half lengthwise, which will expose the layers inside. Carefully roll each split portion starting on one end, keeping the sliced layers facing up. It will look messy, but it will create a pinwheel-looking roll of dough. Pinch the exposed end to the side it touches and place it in a well of the prepared muffin pan. Repeat with the remaining dough until all the logs have been rolled up and you have 12 cruffins.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are fully baked and the edges have turned a deep golden brown. The baking time may differ slightly, depending on your oven. If the center still looks gooey or doughy, bake for a minute or two longer.
- As soon as the cruffins are done baking, carefully remove them from the muffin pan and immediately roll them in the remaining cinnamon sugar. Don’t let them sit in the pan! They will be very hot so be careful, but if they start cooling at all in the muffin pan, they will become increasingly difficult to get out of the pan and the cinnamon sugar won’t stick to them.
- Let them cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
