Cruffins are the new invention from croissants and muffin. It seems to be difficult to make but is very easy. If you have kids, they will enjoy this new invention.

I am not good at baking, but always wish to make a baking recipe and they look good in photographs as well, but due to imperfection in baking, it feels not confident.

But beating the scare. I thought to give it a try. LOL. And here’s how I baked.

Ingredients

1 3/4 cup of refined flour

3/4 cup of milk (warm)

1/2 cup unsalted melted butter

1 1/2 tbsp sugar

1 tsp vanilla essence (I used vanilla flavored icing sugar for decoration, thus not mixed in the flour.)

3/4 tbsp of honey

1 tsp of dry yeast

1/2 tsp salt

Powder sugar to dust
