This easy cinnamon cardamom cruffins recipe is a cross between a croissant and a muffin. In this easy version, the croissant dough is replaced with puff pastry, filled with cinnamon and coated in a cardamon-sugar mixture.

Ingredients

Scale

1 store-bought or homemade puff pastry (approx. 17.6 ounces/500g)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large muffin pan with liners (alternatively, coat the muffin pan directly with melted butter and flour). Set aside.
For the cinnamon filling, combine the softened butter with 2 Tablespoons sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside.
Roll out the puff pastry in large rectangle, and spread out the cinnamon filling all over in a thin, even layer (do not overfill). Then, fold the shorter side of the rectangle dough over itself, and cut into 1.2-inch (3 cm) strips, using a sharp knife.
Using your fingers, roll each strip into a spiral, wrapping the end over the top and then securing it underneath (see pictures above).
Place each roll into a muffin tin and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. When cruffins are ready, remove carefully from the pan using a butter knife.
Mix sugar and freshly ground cardamom in a shallow plate. Brush the warm cruffins lightly with melted butter and coat in the cardamom-sugar mixture immediately or almost (do not burn yourself). Enjoy!
