Delicious Cruffins

You know those days when you kinda want a croissant but you also kinda want a muffin so you end up eating both. Well, same here and that’s actually how I stumbled into the world of cruffins because it was a happy little accident fueled by indecision and way too much coffee.

The first time I tried making these I have to admit I thought I’d nailed it however spoiler alert—I hadn’t since the tops were burnt while the middles stayed undercooked so the whole thing was a mess but hey, that’s half the fun because it’s all about learning then laughing and finally pretending the kitchen disaster never happened.

Now I’m obsessed since they’re full of buttery and flaky layers wrapped up in a muffin’s hug as if the pastry gods said, “Let’s blow their minds today.”

Have you ever tried one ?? If not buckle up because you’re in for a treat.
Oh and just so you know these vanish fast like “blink and they’re gone” fast.

So if you’re ready to get maybe even a little addicted then let’s do it.

Ingredients :

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry thawed if frozen
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar plus more for dusting

What to Eat with Delicious Cruffins ??

My little family and I usually enjoy these delicious Cruffins for breakfast with coffee or a warm cup of tea. It’s a family tradition, and sometimes my kid likes to add a delicious twist and add a scoop of ice cream. When it’s hot out, I sometimes crave a cold, refreshing drink with them it’s a great combination too.

FAQ’S

Do I need to use a muffin tin ?

Yes, a muffin tin helps give cruffins their signature tall and swirled shape. You can use a regular or jumbo-size muffin tin.

What kind of fillings can I use ?

Popular fillings include jam, cinnamon sugar, cream cheese, peanut butter, or even savory options like pesto or cheese.

Can I freeze cruffins ?

Yes. Let them cool completely, then wrap them in plastic wrap and foil before freezing. They can last up to 1 month in the freezer.
