Mix sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and sprinkle it over the pastry.
Brush with melted butter, then roll the dough up tightly.
Cut the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces.
Grease a muffin tin and place each piece into a muffin cup.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar and vanilla extract (if desired).
Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
For a special twist: You can add a spoonful of fruit preserves or Nutella to the center of each cruffin before rolling them up for added flavor.
Make it your own: Swap cinnamon for other spices like cardamom or nutmeg to change the flavor profile.
Storage: Store leftover cruffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They are best enjoyed fresh but can also be reheated in the oven for 5 minutes to regain their crispness.
