Creating Irresistible Peach Pie Cruffins can be an enjoyable process. Follow these step-by-step instructions for perfect results:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
2. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
3. Cut in the Butter: Add the chilled butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add Milk: Gradually mix in the milk until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
5. Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
6. Sprinkle with Spices: Mix the diced peaches with cinnamon and nutmeg. Spread evenly over the rolled-out dough.
7. Fold and Cut: Fold the dough into thirds (like a business letter), then roll out gently again. Cut the dough into strips about 2 inches wide.
8. Form the Cruffins: Roll each strip into a spiral and place them in the muffin tin, with the spiral facing up.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the cruffins to cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
11. Dust with Powdered Sugar: If desired, dust the cooled cruffins with powdered sugar for an added touch of sweetness before serving.
With these steps, you’ll have delicious Irresistible Peach Pie Cruffins that are ready to impress!
