Why I love this easy croffle recipe

Croissant waffles: That’s a croffel! This croissant and waffle mix means that in every bite you get the flaky layers of a croissant, but the crispy outside of a waffle!
Simple croffel recipe: All you need is some sugar and crescent rolls, puff pastry dough, pre-made croissant dough, or frozen mini croissants from Trader Joe’s.
Trends: You don’t have to travel for a cafe-style Korean treat, it’s an easy hack to make croffles at home using croissants and a waffle maker.
Versatile: Fill them or top them, serve them as a quick breakfast or dessert and if you don’t have a waffle iron, you can also make croffles with a panini press!

Croffle fillings and toppings

Sweet fillings: Try Nutella, peanut butter or mascarpone with thinly sliced fruit. Chocolate chips, banana slices or jam also work as a sweet snack!
Savory croffle fillings: Try brie, prosciutto, ham and cheese, cream cheese, scrambled eggs, beans and cheese for a taco version or even diced pepperoni and cheese!
Croffels Toppings: Take these croissant waffles to the next level with whipped cream, honey, a drizzle of maple syrup, strawberries or powdered sugar.
Dessert: Add some chocolate sauce and ice cream!

How to make croffels

Preparation: Roll out your unbaked croissant dough or crescent roll dough.
Add fillings: Add fillings if desired, being careful not to overcrowd the croffle. Carefully roll up each piece of triangular dough.
Cook: Place the croissants in the preheated waffle iron. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
Top: Get as fancy as you want with the toppings you want. Favorites include syrup, fresh fruit and powdered sugar.

Storage instructions

Store: Store leftovers in a sealed, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To freeze: First flash freeze croffles on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Place in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
Heat up: Reheat in a toaster oven or microwave until warm. If frozen, thaw first in the refrigerator overnight.

Preheat your waffle iron.
Roll out your crescent rolls and add any filling if desired. Then roll the larger side of the dough down to the smaller side (see photo in post for visual) and roll in the sugar.
Place the crescents or the thawed croissant in the waffle iron. Cook for 3 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve with desired toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit and powdered sugar.

Dough: You can also use frozen mini croissants (I find these at Traders Joes) and thaw. Another option is to use puff pastry and cut it into triangles to roll up. Filling: You can try adding a nutella, peanut butter or mascropone with thinly sliced fruit in the center before rolling the dough and cooking as well. Savory options like brie, prosciutto and jam would be great too. Storage: Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat in a toaster oven or microwave until warm.
