Easy cinnamon cruffins
Cruffin is a fusion of a croissant and muffin. If you like cinnamon whirls try out these easy cinnamon cruffins which are super easy to make using ready-rolled puff pastry. If you use dairy-free products (pastry and spread) then you’ll get a yummy vegan treat!
Ingredients
Method
- Heat the oven to 180°C. Lightly grease 6 holes in a muffin tin with butter or dairy-free spread. Or prepare 6 silicon baskets.
- Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Unroll the pastry and brush it with the melted butter. Scatter two-thirds of the cinnamon sugar over it, then roll it tightly into a long sausage shape (along its long side). Cut this into 3 equal sized logs.
- Cut each log, lengthwise, into 2 pieces. You should get 6 thin pieces, exposing the inner layers on one side.
- Take one piece and form a knot – preferably showing the layered side outwards. Repeat with the remaining pieces.
- Place each piece in the greased tin or silicon baskets.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, in the middle of the oven, until golden.
- Take the tin out of the oven, and using a spoon, remove the cruffins onto a plate.
- Brush them with any remaining butter and roll them in the cinnamon sugar, while they’re still warm.
- Let them cool before serving.
