Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin.
-
Prepare the pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheet into a large rectangle. Brush with melted butter.
-
Add the filling: Mix sugar and cinnamon in a bowl, then sprinkle evenly over the buttered pastry.
-
Roll and cut: Roll the pastry tightly into a log, then slice it into 6 equal pieces.
-
Shape the cruffins: Place each piece into a muffin cup, cut side up.
-
Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.

Cool & serve: Let them cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy warm!
Notes
- Try different fillings like chocolate chips, fruit preserves, or Nutella.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for a fresh-baked taste.
- For extra flakiness, use homemade croissant dough instead of puff pastry.
