Cruffin
A cruffin is a hybrid of a croissant, a popular French pastry and a muffin, first known to be created by Kate Reid of Lune Croissanterie in Melbourne, Australia in 2013.[1][2][3][4] Since then, there have been multiple variations of the cruffin found all over the world. The pastry is made by proving and baking laminated dough in a muffin mould. The cruffin is then filled with a variety of creams, jams, crème pâtissières or curds, and then garnished.
History
The cruffin was originally created by Lune Croissanterie for Everyday Coffee, Melbourne in July 2013,[5][6] before its popularity spread worldwide after the cronut craze in the same year. According to the #cruffin hashtag on Instagram, they can be found all over the world.[7]
Worldwide
United States
The cruffin was popularised in San Francisco by Australian pastry chef Ry Stephen and co-owner Aaron Caddel of Mr. Holmes Bakehouse in November 2014.[8]
In March 2015, Stephen claims the store was broken into and the recipe binders that hold the recipe for cruffins and 230 other recipes was stolen. Other things such as money, baking equipment, an iPad, computers were left untouched, and no one was ever charged.[9]
