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 an even baking temperature for your cruffins.
- Prepare Dough Sheets: 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 visible perforations.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon to create a uniform filling mixture.
- Apply Butter and Sugar: Brush one sheet of the dough with a thin, even layer of melted butter. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over this buttered dough.
- Stack Dough Sheets: Place the second sheet of crescent dough on top of the sugar-coated sheet, aligning the edges carefully for a neat stack.
- Slice and Roll: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the stacked dough into long strips. Roll each strip tightly, similar to a cinnamon roll shape.
- Coat Rolls: Dip each rolled strip into the remaining melted butter, then roll it in the leftover cinnamon sugar mixture to coat the exterior thoroughly.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray. Place each prepared cruffin roll into a muffin cup, spacing them evenly.
- Bake: 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 allow the cruffins to cool slightly. Serve warm to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the dough sheets are fully pressed together to avoid separation while baking.
- You can adjust the amount of cinnamon to your taste preferences.
- Brush the muffin tin well with non-stick spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Serve warm with a drizzle of icing or cream cheese frosting for an extra indulgence.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container; reheat gently before serving.
