Croffles are the delightful fusion of croissants and waffles, combining the buttery layers of a croissant with the crispiness of a waffle. This fun twist on a classic pastry is perfect for breakfast or brunch, bringing a sweet, comforting treat to your table with minimal effort.
Crescent roll dough is the backbone of this recipe, giving you that flaky, buttery croissant texture with convenience. Granulated sugar adds sweetness, while ground cinnamon provides a warm, spicy note that pairs beautifully with the buttery dough. Unsalted butter is used to enhance the richness and ensure a golden, crispy finish. Finally, whipped cream and fresh berries are optional but highly recommended for a fresh and creamy topping that complements the croffles perfectly.
Serve your croffles warm with a dollop of whipped cream and a handful of fresh berries. For a more decadent option, drizzle with a bit of maple syrup or honey. These croffles also pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a dessert version.
Start by preheating your waffle iron to medium-high heat. This ensures your croffles cook evenly and achieve that perfect crispy texture.
Take your can of crescent roll dough and unroll it carefully. You'll see it's already divided into triangles, which makes your job a lot easier. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. This will be your cinnamon sugar mixture.
Brush each dough triangle with the melted butter. This not only adds flavor but also helps the cinnamon sugar stick. Once buttered, sprinkle a generous amount of your cinnamon sugar mixture over each triangle.
Now, roll each triangle into a classic croissant shape, starting from the wide end and rolling towards the point. Place each rolled piece into your preheated waffle iron.
Cook the croffles for 3-4 minutes, or until they're golden brown and crispy. The exact time might vary slightly depending on your waffle iron, so keep an eye on them. Once cooked, remove them carefully — they'll be hot!
