How Can I Prevent The Puff Pastry From Tearing As I Work With It? I have the best luck when I work with cold puff pastry, directly out of the fridge. I don’t even take it out of the fridge until I’m ready to spread the butter on it. Although, if it is frozen, it does need to thaw in the fridge overnight.
Can I Use Brown Sugar Instead Of Granulated Sugar In This Cruffin Recipe? You can. Just keep in mind that brown sugar will give the Cruffins a heavier texture with a little more caramel flavor. Whereas the cinnamon-sugar mixture creates more of a cinnamon roll flavor!
What’s The Best Way To Store These Cruffins? They’re best stored in an airtight container at room temperature. The Cruffins can then be enjoyed for up to 3 days. If you’d like them to last longer you can also freeze them for up to 2 months.
Can I Use Unsalted Butter Instead Of Salted Butter? Yes. If you don’t have salted butter you can make your own by mixing 1/8 teaspoon of salt into unsalted butter. However, if you don’t want salt at all, then using unsalted butter would be fine too.
How Can I Make Smaller Cruffins Using This Recipe? This recipe does make large Cruffins so you can easily cut the entire recipe in half to make smaller ones. To do so you can just follow these easy instructions:
Just use one package of puff pastry dough and cut the pastry into 10 1-inch strips. They’ll still be placed into a regular , they just won’t fill the entire cup as it bakes.
Bake them until golden and then sprinkle them with the remaining cinnamon sugar.
Is There A Way To Add Chocolate To These Cruffins? You could skip the cinnamon sugar and instead sprinkle on chocolate chips before folding and baking. Melt more chocolate chips in the microwave when the Cruffins come out of the oven. Then drizzle the melted chocolate over the tops of them.
