Ingredients
1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Puff Pastry: Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet and brush lightly with melted butter.
- Shape the Cruffins: Roll the pastry sheet into a log, slice into 8 equal rounds, and fan each round into a rosette shape, tucking the edges under to form a muffin-like shape.
- Heat the Oil: Heat 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C), ensuring consistent oil temperature for even frying.
- Fry the Cruffins: Fry the cruffins in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, until puffed and golden brown. Drain excess oil on paper towels.
- Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: Mix sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Roll warm cruffins in cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
- Serve: Serve immediately for the best crispness and flavor.
Notes
For a filled version, add whipped cream, chocolate ganache, or Nutella to the cruffins before frying.
Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon sugar for added depth of flavor.
For a decadent touch, dip the finished cruffins in melted chocolate.
