Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar (for coating)
- Oil for frying
Instructions
Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for the magic to begin. This step is simple yet essential for achieving the perfect bake on your Churro Cruffins.
Carefully roll out the pastry dough until it reaches about 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Shape the dough into a rectangle; the dimensions aren’t critical, but uniformity helps achieve that classic cruffin look.
Using a cutter, create circles from your dough, then place each circle into the muffin tin. By pressing down and shaping the edges, you’ll form the delightful crest of your Churro Cruffins that will rise beautifully when baked.
In a separate bowl, mix together granulated sugar and cinnamon. A simple whisking will do. This mixture is what will provide the sweet crunch for the exterior of your Churro Cruffins, elevating them to extra special treats.
Once shaped, place the muffin tin into the oven. Allow them to bake until golden brown, approximately 18 to 22 minutes. Keep an eye on them—your kitchen will begin to smell like a dreamy bakery.
Let the beautiful baked goods cool slightly before you roll them in the sweet cinnamon-sugar mixture. This adds that magical crunch—everything a perfect Churro Cruffins should be!
After rolling, they are ready to be devoured. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful texture and flavor of your freshly baked Churro Cruffins!
