Cruffins are a delightful hybrid of croissants and muffins, featuring flaky, buttery layers rolled up with cinnamon sugar and baked to golden perfection. This recipe uses refrigerated crescent roll dough for an easy and quick way to enjoy this trendy pastry at home, with a sweet cinnamon-sugar coating and rich buttery flavor.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cruffins

Ingredients

Dough

  • 3 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll sheets
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, divided

Filling

  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough. Unroll each tube of crescent roll dough and separate the triangles along the perforations. Spread about 1 tablespoon of softened butter evenly over each piece to ensure rich, flaky layers in the final product.
  2. Mix cinnamon sugar. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly to create the classic spiced sugar filling for the cruffins.
  3. Coat the dough with cinnamon sugar. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the buttered dough pieces, pressing lightly to adhere the sugar to the surface.
  4. Roll into cruffins. Starting from the wide end of each triangle, roll the dough tightly towards the tip to form a spiral resembling a muffin shape, ensuring the cinnamon sugar layers are rolled inside.
  5. Prepare the muffin tin. Lightly grease a muffin tin or use non-stick spray to prevent sticking during baking.
  6. Place rolled dough in the tin. Set each rolled crescent dough piece upright into the muffin cups, fitting snugly but with enough room to expand during baking.
  7. Bake the cruffins. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the cruffins for approximately 15–18 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
  8. Cool and serve. Remove the cruffins from the oven, allow them to cool slightly in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool further before serving. Optionally, brush with additional melted butter and sprinkle more cinnamon sugar for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Using refrigerated crescent dough significantly reduces preparation time, making this recipe quick and beginner-friendly.
  • For a richer taste, consider adding a filling such as cream cheese or jam inside the dough before rolling.
  • Watch closely towards the end of baking time to prevent over-browning.
  • Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for 2 days.
