Nutella Cruffin- these guys are a cross between a croissant and a muffin and are popping up at bakeries all over. This quick version is super easy to make but looks elegant and feels like a special pastry you bought from a French patisserie.
Nutella Cruffins
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
- 3 Tbsp nutella
- 1 tsp milk
Instructions
- Pre-heat over to 375 F. Thaw one sheet of puff pastry.
- Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into an 11×15 rectangle.
- Heat 3T Nutella in the microwave for 20 seconds so it spreads more easily. Spread Nutella over puff pastry.
- Roll dough into a log from the longer length. Cut in half then cut each smaller log in half length wise to expose the inside layers.
- Spiral around your finger into a muffin shape so that some of the dough sits on the top to make a dome.
- Place in a greased muffin pan. Brush each cruffin with egg wash (mix one egg with 1T milk)
- Bake at 375F for 40-45 minutes total until crispy on the outside and fully baked inside. At 30 minutes cover with foil so the outside doesn’t get too browned.
- You can eat as is or consider topping with whipped cream or using a pastry bag with a medium tip to fill the cruffins with raspberry jam.
