Cruffin
Cruffin is a mixture of croissants and muffins. The cake was created in Melbourne, Australia in 2013. The croissant dough is baked in muffin tray, so we get a lovely leafy crispy cake. It can be filled up with various fillings, and in this recipe we show a basic version of this treat.

Instructions
- Dissolve the Yeast in a few spoonfuls of water. Sift in the flour and set 4 spoonfuls of it aside. Add Sugar, Salt, Milk, Water, Egg and finally the dissolved Yeast. Mix together the ingredients by hand or with a wooden spoon and then work the dough well before adding the remaining Flour.
