2packages of puff pastryeach package includes 2 sheets
1cup(200g)granulated sugar
4Tablespoonsground cinnamon
½cup(114g)salted buttersoftened
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 °F (204 °C). Spray your muffin pan with a non-stick spray with flour added, or line the muffin pan with liners.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon. Divide this mixture by setting aside 4 Tablespoons to be used for sprinkling on after the cruffins are baked.
Open up each puff pastry sheet and lay each one on the counter flat. Set two aside for the moment, they will be placed on top.
Using a butter knife or offset spatula, spread ¼ cup of butter onto each of the bottom two sheets. Then divide the larger cinnamon/sugar mixture in half and generously sprinkle on top of the buttered pastry sheets, covering the whole surface.
Now, take the top two pastry sheets and place them on top of the cinnamon sugar sheets, creating a sandwich.
Using a pizza cutter, cut 6 equal strips from each sandwich, 12 total.
Then roll the slices up (cinnamon roll style), make sure to pinch the ends to help the rolls stay closed as they bake, and place each one into a muffin cup.
Bake for about 15-18 minutes or until golden.
Sprinkle with (or roll them around in) the remaining 4 Tablespoons of cinnamon sugar while they are warm. *These are best served warm!
Notes
The recipe above makes large cruffins - you can easily cut the entire recipe in half and have smaller cruffins if you prefer. (They will be about half the size as pictured but will need only half the ingredients)Directions as follows:
Roll out the puff pastry into a large rectangle (approximately 10 inches by 12 inches).
Take one of the 10 inch sides of the rectangle and fold the pastry over so you now have a square. (This creates a sandwich, with the butter- cinnamon sugar filling inside.)
Cut the pastry into 10 (1 inch) slices so that each slice has the fold at one end.
Bake for about 13-15 minutes or until golden.
Sprinkle with (or roll them around in) the remaining 4 Tablespoons of cinnamon sugar while they are warm.
