Description
Cruffin Delight is a delicious pastry that combines the flaky texture of a croissant with the shape of a muffin, filled with cinnamon sugar and butter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed (about 110°F)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for spreading)
- 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar (1/4 cup granulated sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Whisk until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a muffin tin.
- Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log, then cut it into 12 equal pieces.
- Place each piece into the greased muffin tin, standing upright. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, add mini chocolate chips to the cinnamon sugar mixture before rolling up the dough.
- For a fruity variation, substitute the cinnamon sugar with a mixture of sugar and lemon zest.
