Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 tubes (8 ounces each / 226 grams each) refrigerated crescent roll sheets
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Butter:
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 350°F and coating a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
- Dust a clean work surface with flour and carefully stretch each dough tube into a thin, rectangular shape measuring approximately 12×16 inches.
- Generously coat the entire surface of each dough sheet with softened butter, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl, creating a fragrant spice mixture.
- Lavishly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar blend across the buttered dough, gently pressing the mixture to help it adhere.
- Carefully roll the dough from the longest edge, creating a tight, compact log. Slice each log into two equal segments.
- Divide each shorter log lengthwise, resulting in four distinct sections per original log. Repeat this process for all dough pieces.
- Carefully transform each section into a cruffin shape, paying attention to maintaining visible layered edges and neatly tucking the ends.
- Arrange the shaped cruffins in the prepared muffin tin, allowing space between each pastry.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until the cruffins develop a rich, golden-brown exterior.
- Immediately after removing from the oven, enrobe the warm cruffins in the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture for a final decadent coating.
