Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
On a lightly floured surface, gently unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet. You should have a large rectangle.
In a small bowl, combine the 0.1 cup of granulated sugar and the ground cinnamon for the filling. Mix well.
Brush the entire surface of the puff pastry with the beaten egg.
Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the egg-washed pastry. Press down gently to help it adhere.
Starting from one of the longer sides, tightly roll up the puff pastry into a log.
Cut the roll into 12 equal pieces, about 0.75 inches thick.
Place each piece, cut-side up, into the prepared muffin tin cups. The swirls will unfurl as they bake.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
While the cruffins are baking, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter and mix it with the 0.2 cup of granulated sugar for the topping. Stir until combined.
Once baked, remove the cruffins from the oven. While still warm, brush the tops generously with the melted butter and sugar mixture.
Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
For extra sweetness, you can add a drizzle of icing or a dusting of powdered sugar after cooling.
