A Cruffin is crescent roll dough that is buttered and coated with cinnamon and sugar, rolled, cut, and baked in a muffin tin.

Ingredients

  • 3 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll sheets
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, (softened, divided)
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Working on a lightly floured work surface, roll out each tube of dough to a 12x16-inch rectangle. (We used crescent roll sheets; if you are using perforated crescent roll dough, be sure to pinch the seams to seal.)

  3. 3

    Spread 2 tablespoons of softened butter evenly over each sheet of dough.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle ¼ cup of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of each buttered dough sheet, gently pressing it into the dough. Set aside the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture to use for topping later.

  6. 6

    Starting on the long end of the dough sheet, tightly roll it up into a log.

  7. 7

    Cut the log in half, creating two shorter logs.

  8. 8

    Cut each of those shorter logs in half lengthwise, giving you four sections of dough.

  9. 9

    Repeat with the remaining two sheets of dough. You will have 12 sections of dough.

  10. 10

    Working one section of dough at a time with the layered side facing out, roll it tightly into a cinnamon roll shape, tucking in the end piece of dough.

  11. 11

    Place into the prepared muffin tin. Repeat with the remaining 11 sections.

  12. 12

    Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

  13. 13

    Remove rolls from the oven and immediately roll each cruffin in the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture. Enjoy!
