Quick Cinnamon Sugar Cruffins are a delightful hybrid of croissants and muffins, featuring flaky layers of buttery dough rolled with a sweet cinnamon sugar filling. Made with easy-to-use refrigerated crescent roll dough or puff pastry, these warm, golden-brown treats are perfect for a cozy breakfast or an indulgent snack paired with coffee or tea.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough or puff pastry (ensure it’s halal)

Filling

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the crescent roll dough or puff pastry on a clean surface. For crescent dough, pinch perforated seams together to form one large sheet. For puff pastry, simply unfold into a rectangle.
  3. Make the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, stirring well to mix thoroughly. This will be the sweet filling.
  4. Brush with Butter: Evenly brush the entire surface of the dough with the melted unsalted butter using a pastry brush or spoon to help the cinnamon sugar adhere.
  5. Sprinkle the Cinnamon Sugar: Generously and evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the buttered dough, ensuring full coverage for flavor.
  6. Roll the Dough: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the dough into a log shape like a cinnamon roll, keeping the layers compact so the filling stays inside during baking.
  7. Slice: Cut the rolled log into 12 equal slices; these will form individual cruffins.
  8. Arrange in Muffin Tin: Place each slice into the muffin tin, gently coiling each one into a muffin cup to maintain shape.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cruffins are golden brown and crispy on top. Monitor closely to avoid over-browning.
  10. Cool Slightly: Remove from oven and allow cruffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Serve: Enjoy warm as is or dust with extra cinnamon sugar. Perfect alongside coffee or tea for a sweet indulgence.

Notes

  • You can substitute puff pastry for crescent dough depending on desired flakiness.
  • Adding vanilla extract is optional but enhances the aroma and flavor.
  • Ensure the dough is rolled tightly to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
  • Use unsalted butter to better control the salt levels in the recipe.
  • Store cruffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days and reheat before serving.
