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 and prepare muffin tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners to prevent sticking.
- Prepare dough squares: Roll out the crescent roll dough and separate it into squares by cutting along the perforations.
- Mix cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Coat dough squares: Brush each dough square thoroughly with melted butter, then generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over each one.
- Shape the cruffins: Fold the coated dough squares into a cruffin shape, layering pieces if desired, and place them carefully into the prepared muffin tin.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the cruffins are golden brown and crispy.
- Finish and serve: Remove from the oven and dust the cruffins lightly with powdered sugar before serving warm.
Notes
- Use a light hand when dusting with powdered sugar to avoid overpowering the cinnamon flavor.
- For an extra indulgent treat, serve with a side of fruit preserves or cream cheese.
- Ensure the dough layers are stacked to create a flaky texture similar to croissants.
- Allow the cruffins to cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin to maintain their shape.
