Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 2 cans crescent roll dough
- 2-3 Tbsp flour, for rolling
Filling & Coating
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 Tbsp butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking temperature for your cruffins.
- Prepare Dough: Open both cans of crescent roll dough and carefully unroll them on a floured surface. Press the seams together so the dough sheets are fully connected with no perforations visible.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon, creating a homogeneous mixture for the filling.
- Add Filling: Brush a thin, even layer of melted butter over one sheet of the dough. Evenly sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the buttered surface.
- Layer Dough: Place the second sheet of crescent dough directly on top of the sugar-coated sheet, aligning the edges for a neat stack.
- Slice and Roll: With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the stacked dough into long strips. Take each strip and roll it up tightly, resembling a cinnamon roll.
- Dip and Coat: Dip each rolled strip into the remaining melted butter, then roll it in the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture to coat the exterior.
- Arrange in Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray and place each prepared cruffin roll into a muffin cup.
- Bake Cruffins: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cruffins are puffed and golden brown on top.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the tin from the oven and let the cruffins cool slightly. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter for clean, even strips to ensure uniform baking.
- Greasing the muffin tin well prevents the cruffins from sticking and helps with easy removal.
- Serve cruffins warm for maximum flakiness and flavor.
- You can double the cinnamon sugar filling for an extra sweet treat.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently before serving.
