Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (8 ounces/226 grams) crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) unsalted butter, melted
Spice Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) cinnamon
Optional Glaze Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
- 12 tablespoons (180 milliliters) milk
Instructions
- Gently unroll the crescent dough onto a lightly dusted work surface, carefully pressing the perforated seams together to create a seamless pastry canvas.
- Lavishly coat the entire dough surface with a generous layer of melted butter, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Combine cinnamon and sugar in a small mixing bowl, then generously sprinkle the fragrant mixture across the buttered dough, creating an even, aromatic layer.
- Carefully roll the dough tightly from the longest edge, creating a compact, swirled log that showcases the cinnamon-sugar layers.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the log precisely down the center lengthwise, revealing the intricate interior spiral.
- Gently twist each dough strip and delicately coil it into a muffin tin cavity, crafting a whimsical cruffin shape with elegant spirals.
- Position the muffin tin in a preheated oven at 375°F, allowing the cruffins to bake for 15-18 minutes until they transform into golden, puffy pastries.
- While the cruffins cool slightly, whisk powdered sugar and milk until a smooth, glossy glaze forms.
- Drizzle the velvety glaze over the warm cruffins, creating an enticing, sweet finish that complements the cinnamon-infused layers.
Notes
- Flour surface lightly to prevent sticking and make rolling easier without excess flour.
- Use room temperature butter for smoother, more even coating on the dough surface.
- Slice the log carefully and gently to maintain the beautiful layered cinnamon swirl pattern.
- Adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven’s performance to achieve perfect golden-brown color without burning.
