Learn how to make delicious Churro Cruffins, a delightful fusion of churros and croissants! These treats offer a crispy, cinnamon-sugar exterior with a flaky, buttery interior.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14.1 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Preheat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- In a shallow dish, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
- Brush each triangle with melted butter.
- Roll up each triangle from the wide end to the point, forming a small croissant shape.
- Cut each rolled croissant in half to create a cruffin shape.
- Fry the cruffins in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip halfway through.
- Remove the cruffins from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Immediately toss the warm cruffins in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- If you don’t have a deep fryer, use a heavy-bottomed pot and monitor the oil temperature carefully.
- Serve the churro cruffins warm for the best texture.
