Ingredients
For the Cruffin Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Filling
- to taste Filling of choice (like Nutella, jam, or cinnamon sugar)
For Greasing
- as needed Butter and flour
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prep a muffin tin by greasing it well with butter and flour.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until mixed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, stirring until just combined; there should still be a few lumps.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Brush with additional melted butter and sprinkle your filling evenly across the surface.
- Roll the rectangle tightly from the long side to create a log, then cut it into 8 pieces.
- Place each piece, standing upright, in the greased muffin tin.
Baking
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they’re golden brown on top.
- Allow them to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
Make Ahead: Prepare the dough the night before and refrigerate it overnight. Let it come to room temperature before rolling and filling. Experiment with different fillings such as apple-cinnamon, chocolate chips, or savory options like cheese and herbs. Keep the dough cool to maintain its layers.
