A cruffin is a delicious pastry that combines the best parts of a croissant and a muffin. It's made by preparing special dough, similar to croissant dough, and then baking it in a muffin tin. After baking, cruffins are often filled with tasty things like creams, jams, or custards. They are then decorated to look extra appealing!
The very first cruffin was created in Melbourne, Australia in 2013. It was made by Kate Reid, who owns a bakery called Lune Croissanterie. Later, a bakery in San Francisco called Mr. Holmes Bakehouse helped make the cruffin super popular. Since then, you can find many different kinds of cruffins all over the world!
