Churro Cruffins Cinnamon Puff (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dough

01 - 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

→ Coating

02 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
03 - 120 grams granulated sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

→ Frying

05 - Vegetable oil, for deep frying

# Instructions:

01 - Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface and brush evenly with melted butter.
02 - Carefully roll the pastry sheet into a tight log. Slice the log into 8 equal rounds. With your fingers, gently fan out each piece into a rosette, tucking the edges underneath.
03 - Pour 3–5 cm of vegetable oil into a deep skillet or heavy pot and heat to 175°C (350°F).
04 - Working in batches, fry the shaped dough rounds seam-side down for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden and puffed. Transfer to paper towels to briefly drain excess oil.
05 - In a shallow bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Roll the warm cruffins in the cinnamon sugar to coat completely.
06 - Serve cruffins immediately while crisp.

# Notes:

01 - For optimal texture, fry in small batches to prevent crowding and maintain oil temperature.
02 - Puff pastry must be fully thawed for even rolling.
