Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a greased muffin tin.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. Melt the unsalted butter and brush it over the puff pastry. Mix granulated sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle it evenly over the buttered pastry.
  4. Cut the pastry into triangles and roll them up from the base to the tip, forming a spiral shape.
  5. Arrange the rolled-up cruffins upright in the muffin tin, allowing space for rising.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Let cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
