Ingredients

Scale

Pastry

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Filling and Topping

  • 1/2 cup pastry cream or custard
  • 1/4 cup chocolate ganache or melted chocolate (optional)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon evenly to create the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  3. Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and brush it evenly with the melted butter, ensuring full coverage.
  4. Apply Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered pastry sheet, distributing it thoroughly for the best flavor.
  5. Roll Pastry into Log: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the puff pastry into a log shape, making sure it is compact to preserve layers.
  6. Slice the Log: Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled pastry log into 6 to 8 equal slices. Place each slice with the cut side facing up on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake the Cruffins: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the cruffins are golden brown, puffed, and cooked through.
  8. Cool and Fill: Remove from the oven and allow the cruffins to cool slightly. Carefully slice each cruffin horizontally and fill with pastry cream or custard.
  9. Add Optional Chocolate and Serve: Drizzle with chocolate ganache if desired and dust with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant finish.

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife when slicing the rolled pastry to maintain the integrity of layers and avoid squishing the dough.
  • These cruffins can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days to preserve freshness.
