Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 1 8-ounce can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking during baking.
  2. Prepare Dough Rectangles: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a flat surface and separate it into 4 rectangles. Press the seams firmly to seal them into solid sheets.
  3. Butter and Cinnamon Sugar Coating: Brush each dough rectangle with the melted butter evenly, then sprinkle them with the combined cinnamon-sugar mixture for sweetness and spice.
  4. Form Logs and Slice: Roll each coated rectangle tightly into a log shape. Slice each log in half to create smaller portions, then roll these halves into spirals resembling cruffins.
  5. Place and Bake: Arrange the dough spirals into the prepared muffin cups. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cruffins turn a beautiful golden brown.
  6. Finish with Butter and Cinnamon Sugar: Immediately after baking, brush the hot cruffins with additional melted butter and roll them once again in cinnamon sugar for an extra flavorful finish.

Notes

  • For a flakier texture, substitute crescent dough with puff pastry sheets.
  • Experiment with spices like pumpkin spice or nutmeg to add seasonal flavor variations.
  • Make sure to seal crescent dough seams properly to avoid dough unraveling during baking.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
