Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 6 cruffins

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet puff pastry or crescent roll dough thawed if frozen
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Optional fillings:
  • Nutella
  • Jam
  • Lemon curd
  • Chocolate chips
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease 6 muffin cups or line with muffin liners.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a thin rectangle (about ⅛ inch thick).
  • If using crescent dough, pinch seams together to seal.
  • Brush with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with sugar and cinnamon.
  • Add a light layer of any optional fillings now.
  • Roll tightly from the long side to form a log.
  • Slice the log in half lengthwise to expose the layers.
  • Twist each strip and coil into a spiral (like a cinnamon roll). Place into the muffin tin, cut sides up.
  • Bake for 18–22 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
  • Cool for 5–10 minutes in the pan. Remove carefully and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill—the layers may slide and leak.
  • Let them cool slightly before removing to hold their shape.
  • Add chopped nuts or dried fruit for texture.
