Ingredients

  • 2 sheets puff pastry 1 package
  • ¼ cup butter 4 tablespoons
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon
  • ½ cup sugar

Instructions

  • For best results, place the package of frozen puff pastry in the refrigerator to thaw overnight before using.
  • Preheat the oven to 400F and spray 6 cups of a muffin tin with baking spray. (the kind with flour in it)
  • In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the mixture for sprinkling after baking, if desired. Place 2 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe cup and microwave 30 seconds to soften/melt.
    ¼ cup butter, 2 tablespoons cinnamon, ½ cup sugar
  • Remove one of the puff pastry sheets and lay it out flat on a lightly floured surface. The pastry will be about 9x9 inches square. Use a rolling pin to roll the pastry in one direction to make it a rectangle. The finished size should be about 9 by 14 or 15 inches.
    2 sheets puff pastry
  • Spread the softened butter thinly over the pastry, going close to all the edges. If the pastry is still cold, the butter will harden so do this as quickly as you can.
  • Sprinkle half the sugar/cinnamon mixture evenly over the butter.
  • From one of the long edges, roll the pastry to form a long log. If desired, you can wet the long edge with a little water to help it stick.
  • Now, use a small knife and cut into the log lengthwise, only about half-way in depth. The layers will start to open slightly.
  • Cut the log into thirds crosswise. Take each cut section and roll it around itself to form a cinnamon roll shape. Place each roll into a prepared muffin cup.
  • Repeat with the other puff pastry sheet and the remaining butter and cinnamon-sugar.
  • Once all 6 cruffins are formed, place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden.
  • Remove the cruffins from the muffin pan and use the reserved cinnamon sugar to sprinkle on top or all around as desired.
  • Serve immediately for maximum deliciousness. 😀
