Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 package croissant dough Use store-bought for convenience
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon Adjust to taste
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted For brushing the dough
  • 1 cup dulce de leche or chocolate sauce For filling, choose your favorite
  • a pinch salt To enhance sweetness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for even baking.
  2. Unroll the croissant dough and separate it into triangles.
  3. Mix melted butter with a pinch of salt and brush it generously over each triangle of dough.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar and ground cinnamon, then sprinkle over the buttered dough triangles.
  5. Place a dollop of dulce de leche or chocolate sauce on the wide end of each triangle, ensuring not to overfill.
  6. Roll up each triangle from the wide end to the pointed tip and place them in greased muffin slots.
  7. Sprinkle more cinnamon sugar on top of each cruffin and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Let the cruffins cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with remaining cinnamon sugar before serving.

Notes

For variations, consider using caramel or a Nutella-style spread instead of dulce de leche. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple of days or freeze for up to two months. Reheat in the oven for best results.
