Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tubes (8 oz / 226 g) refrigerated crescent roll sheets
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 6 tbsps unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F and thoroughly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick coating.
- Dough Stretching: Flour a work surface and meticulously elongate each dough tube into a thin 12×16 inch rectangular sheet.
- Butter Application: Generously spread softened butter across the entire dough surface, ensuring comprehensive and uniform coverage.
- Spice Mixture: Whisk granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together to create a fragrant, aromatic blend.
- Flavor Layering: Distribute the cinnamon-sugar mixture abundantly over the buttered dough, gently pressing to secure adhesion.
- Rolling Technique: Tightly roll the dough from its longest edge, creating a compact log, then slice each log into two equal segments.
- Sectioning Process: Divide each shorter log lengthwise into four distinct sections, maintaining precise layering and structural integrity.
- Shaping Cruffins: Carefully mold each section into a cruffin form, emphasizing visible layered edges and neatly tucking the ends.
- Positioning: Arrange the shaped cruffins in the prepared muffin tin, allowing adequate spacing between pastries.
- Baking and Finishing: Bake for 18-20 minutes until achieving a rich, golden-brown exterior, then immediately coat warm cruffins in remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture for a final decadent touch.
Notes
- Butter Technique: Spread softened butter evenly to create rich, flaky layers that guarantee a tender pastry texture.
- Rolling Precision: Stretch dough carefully to maintain thin, uniform thickness, ensuring consistent baking and delicate cruffin structure.
- Sugar Coating Strategy: Press cinnamon-sugar mixture gently into dough to maximize flavor absorption and create a crispy, caramelized exterior.
- Shaping Secrets: Tuck cruffin ends neatly and maintain visible layers to achieve professional-looking pastries with beautiful, intricate appearances.
