How to make Croffles with Puff Pastry

Roll a sheet of thawed Puff Pastry onto a floured surface. Cut horizontally across to create 2 strips. Cut each strip into triangles. At this stage you can add a filling such as Nutella to make Nutella Croffles or even Sweetened Cream Cheese. Don’t add too much as the filling will ooze out and the croissants won’t bake properly. Roll the puff pastry up to create a croissant. To do this, roll up from the larger side until a croissant shape is formed.  Then continue with the recipe as normal.

Top Tips

Croissants I use thawed frozen unbaked croissants in this recipe. You can use Unbaked croissant dough, Crescent Dough (in the USA), or Puff Pastry Dough cut into triangles. Filling Quantity If using Puff Pastry, don’t add too much as the filling will ooze out and the croissants won’t bake. Waffle Iron Grease the waffle iron so that the croffle can be removed easily from the waffle plate.  Sugar You can brush over some egg or butter before adding to the bowl of sugar to help it adhere but I don’t think it is necessary. Cooking Time Don’t be tempted to over bake as the sugar will burn. 1 - 2.5 minutes is usually enough.They will continue to crisp after they are removed from the waffle plate.

How to store leftover Croffles

In the Fridge If you do happen to have any leftover croissants, store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. In the Freezer To freeze, place n a single layer on a lined tray and freeze for 2 hours. Once frozen, place in a freezer-safe bag or air tight container and store for up to 2 months.  Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat for a couple of minutes either under the grill, in an air fryer, in a pan or in the waffle iron. You can also warm them in the oven at at 180°C/350°F for 3 to 4 minutes on a lined baking tray.
