What is a cruffin?

A cruffin is a hybrid dessert that has overtaken the culinary world. It combines two beloved sweets – the croissant and the muffin. But don’t let the name fool you.

The cruffin is more than simply crossing these two sweet treats together.

Instead, it melds both, creating a unique heavenly texture and flavor. (and it’s the best flavor and taste!)

Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, each bite of a cruffin offers an irresistible mixture of buttery dough and decadent sweetness.

No wonder why this new dessert has become such an instant hit! We can’t get enough of it in our house!

What is the best way to store leftover pastries?

The best way to store leftover pastries is by wrapping them in clingfilm – this will help preserve the pastry’s flavor and texture.

Avoid air pockets when wrapping, as these can cause the pastry to dry out.

Storing in an airtight container also helps keep pastries fresh for longer, preventing moisture from containing within.

Storing wrapped pastries in a dark, cool area like the fridge is needed. These steps ensure that store-bought pastries remain delicious for days after purchase.
