Description
Delightful Cinnamon Sugar Cruffins with a sweet Vanilla Glaze, perfect for sharing with family and friends.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup whole milk, warm
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
- 2–3 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Warm your milk in a small saucepan until it’s lukewarm. Remove from heat and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Create a well in the center, and pour in the yeast mixture along with the beaten eggs and melted butter. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it’s smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise until doubled in size—about 1 hour.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle approximately ½ inch thick. Brush melted butter over the surface and sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top. Roll tightly from one end to the other, forming a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces.
- Grease a muffin tin and place a rolled piece into each cup, cut side up. Allow to rise again for about 30 minutes, covered with a towel.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cruffins for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk for the glaze until smooth. Drizzle over warm cruffins.
