Description
A delightful treat that combines the crispy exterior of churros with the flaky, buttery goodness of croissant dough.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package croissant dough (store-bought)
- 1 cup cinnamon sugar (equal parts sugar and cinnamon)
- Filling of choice (such as pastry cream, Nutella, or lemon curd)
- Oil for frying (if frying) or a method of your choice for baking
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or prepare oil for frying in a deep pot.
- Roll out the croissant dough on a lightly floured surface and cut it into triangles or rectangles.
- Spoon a generous dollop of your filling of choice onto the smaller end of the dough triangle.
- Gently roll the dough up, encasing the filling inside, and shape it into a cruffin by coiling it in a circular fashion and placing it into a muffin mold.
- Bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or fry for 3-5 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from heat and roll the warm cruffins in cinnamon sugar.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
