Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease a muffin tin with a bit of butter or oil.
  3. In a bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar mix.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the water and melted butter to form a dough.
  5. Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and flatten slightly.
  6. Cut the pastry into rectangles (about 3x5 inches) and brush each with melted butter. Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mix.
  7. Roll each rectangle tightly to form a log and twist the ends to shape into cruffins.
  8. Place the rolled cruffins into the greased muffin tin, ensuring enough space for them to puff up.
  9. Whisk the egg and brush it over the tops of the cruffins.
  10. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
  11. Allow them to cool slightly before removing from the tin and roll in additional cinnamon sugar if desired.
