Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) instant yeast
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cinnamon sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Stir to ensure even distribution.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together warm milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Gradually mix this with the dry ingredients until a sticky dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth. Roll out into a rectangle approximately ¼ inch thick. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
- Cut the dough into strips and roll each strip into a spiral shape. Place in greased muffin molds and let rise for about 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
- Store cruffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat in the oven before serving for the best flavor and texture.
- Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar, and with your favorite jam or butter.
