Description
Delightful twisted treats made from croissant dough, filled with your favorite filling and rolled in cinnamon sugar, perfect for cozy moments.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package croissant dough
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- Filling of choice (e.g., Nutella, pastry cream)
- Oil for frying (if frying)
- Flour for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) if baking.
- Roll out the croissant dough and cut it into squares, each about four inches wide.
- Place a small amount of filling in the center of each square; don’t overfill or it might ooze out.
- Carefully fold the dough into a muffin shape, pinching the edges to seal the filling inside.
- For baked cruffins, place them in a greased muffin tin and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
- For fried cruffins, heat oil in a deep fryer or pot to 350°F (175°C) and fry each cruffin for about 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy and golden.
- In a bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon until well combined.
- Once cruffins are cooked, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture while they are still warm and fragrant.
- Serve warm, savor every bite, and enjoy the cozy bliss!
Notes
You can prepare the cruffin shapes ahead of time and refrigerate them before baking or frying. Store any leftover cruffins in an airtight container; best enjoyed fresh but will last for about 2 days.
