Ingredients
  

Cruffin Ingredients
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed Use store-bought for ease.
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted For brushing.
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting) For serving.

Method
 

Preparation and Baking
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin lightly with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a thin rectangle.
  3. Brush the surface with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with granulated sugar and cinnamon.
  4. Roll the pastry tightly from the longer side into a log shape.
  5. Slice the log into equal pieces, about 1.5 inches thick.
  6. Place each spiral into the muffin tin, cut-side up, and brush with egg wash.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
  8. Let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve warm!

Notes

Keep the pastry cold until ready to roll for best flakiness. Use a serrated knife or unflavored dental floss for clean slicing.
