Yields: 6 cruffins
Delight in the magic of these Decadent Cruffins, where the crispiness of puff pastry meets your favorite sweet fillings in a delightful swirl. Topped with a dusting of sugar or a glaze of maple, these treats are a feast for the senses.
Ingredients
For the Cruffins:
- 300 grams of quality puff pastry
- Your choice of jam or preserves for a sweet heart (optional)
- Icing sugar for a snowy finish (optional)
- Cinnamon sugar for a spicy twinkle (optional)
- Maple syrup for a glossy sheen (optional)
- A selection of fresh fruits for a joyful garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to a gentle 170°C (338°F). Prepare your muffin tin with a loving brush of butter.
- Unfurl the puff pastry and slice it into 12 even strips, each about 2 to 3 centimeters in width, ready for their transformation.
- If you're feeling indulgent, spread a whisper of jam or preserves along each strip, setting the stage for a sweet revelation.
- Place one strip atop another, slightly overlapping to create a continuous, spiraling ribbon.
- From one end, roll up this ribbon with care, until it forms a plump, jam-filled roll, ready to bloom in the oven.
- Seal the deal by folding the bottom edge over, pressing it gently to ensure it stays together during its bake.
- Nestle each Cruffin into its buttery tin home, giving it space to puff up and show off its layers.
- Coax a hollow into the heart of each Cruffin, a nest for even more sweetness if you choose.
- Send the tin off to the oven and bake for about 50 minutes, until each Cruffin is puffed, golden, and whispering of crispness.
- Upon their grand exit from the oven, if you desire, crown them with a dusting of icing sugar, a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, or a brush of maple syrup for a lustrous finish.
- Adorn with the fresh fruits, like jewels upon velvet, and present your Cruffins to the world.
These Decadent Cruffins are a celebration in every bite, perfect for those mornings when you yearn for something special or for an afternoon where sweetness is the only agenda. Enjoy the symphony of flavors and textures with each bite!
