Cheater Cinnamon Sugar Cruffins
Rating
I’m just going to go ahead and say it… Frozen store bought puff pastry might be the greatest invention ever.
Ingredients
- Cruffins
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
- ¼ cup butter, softened & divided
- Cinnamon Sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- Egg Wash
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1 tsp cream or milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F degrees, and lightly grease 8 spots in a standard muffin tin.
- Working with one sheet of puff pastry at a time, roll the thawed puff pastry sheet out on a cool, dry work surface – you can dust very lightly with flour if needed.
- Roll the puff pastry into a thin rectangle about 11″ x 15″. Spread about 2 tbsp of the softened butter on each sheet of puff pastry, and lightly sprinkle with about 3 tbsp of the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Working from one of the 15″ ends, roll the puff pastry up jelly roll style. Slice the roll in half length-wise, and slice each half into two parts. You will have 4 pieces per puff pastry sheet (8 in total). Roll each piece up like a snail and place into prepared muffin tin.
- Brush the tops with egg wash, and place in the oven to bake for 40-50 minutes or until the are baked all the way through – the exterior should be a nice deep golden brown colour.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for ten minutes in the pan before turning out and rolling in remaining cinnamon sugar to coat.
- Serve as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Enjoy!
