Ingredients
- For the Cruffins:
- 1 sheet of puff pastry thawed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- For the Filling:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Puff Pastry
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a thin rectangle.
- Brush the entire sheet with melted butter.
- Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl, then sprinkle evenly over the pastry.
- Step 2: Roll and Shape
- Roll the pastry tightly into a log, then cut it into 6–8 equal pieces.
- Place each piece, cut side up, into a greased muffin tin.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cruffins are puffed and golden.
- Step 3: Make the Filling
- In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Transfer the mixture into a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner cut off.
- Step 4: Fill and Finish
- Once the cruffins have cooled slightly, use a knife or skewer to create a small hole in the center of each.
- Pipe the Greek yogurt filling into the center of each cruffin.
- Brush the outside of the cruffins with more melted butter and roll them in the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture for that churro-like coating.
