Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 tubes (8 ounces/226 grams each) refrigerated crescent roll sheets
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Fats and Dairy:
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
- Prepare a muffin tin by generously coating with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Unroll the crescent dough and gently press the perforated lines to create a smooth rectangular sheet. Melt the butter and brush evenly across the entire surface of the dough.
- Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl, creating a fragrant cinnamon sugar mixture. Sprinkle this blend uniformly over the buttered dough.
- Carefully roll the dough tightly from the longer side, creating a compact log. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 1.5-inch (3.8 centimeters) sections.
- Take each section and reshape into a gentle spiral, ensuring the cinnamon sugar is distributed throughout. Place these rolled sections into the prepared muffin tin cavities.
- Transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cruffins turn golden brown and appear puffy and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. While still warm, roll each cruffin in the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, sweet, and slightly crispy cruffins.
Notes
- Cinnamon sugar coating works best when applied while cruffins are still warm for maximum flavor absorption.
- Extra butter helps create flakier, more tender pastry texture during baking process.
- Avoid overmixing dough to maintain delicate, light crescent roll consistency.
- Greasing muffin tin completely prevents sticking and ensures easy removal of cruffins.
- Rolling dough tightly creates beautiful swirled layers and compact pastry shape.
