Description
A simple and delightful treat that combines the flavors of churros with the easy preparation of cruffins. Perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 to 2 cans crescent roll dough
- 4 to 6 tablespoons melted butter, divided
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease the muffin tin really well.
- Mix sugar, cinnamon, and a tiny pinch of salt in a bowl and set it aside.
- Unroll the dough and press any seams together if needed.
- Brush a thin layer of melted butter over the dough.
- Sprinkle a generous, even layer of cinnamon sugar on top.
- Cut the dough into strips. Twist each strip, then coil it into a spiral and place it into the muffin cups.
- Bake about 14 to 18 minutes, until puffed and golden. Start checking at 14 minutes.
- While they are hot, brush with more melted butter, then roll each one in cinnamon sugar.
- Let them cool for a few minutes, then enjoy.
Notes
For a fun twist, try adding small amounts of chocolate, caramel, or jam fillings. To reheat leftovers, place in the oven for a few minutes.
