Equipment
- Waffle Maker
- Tongs
- Small bowl
- Pastry brush, optional
- Measuring spoons
- Cooling rack or plate
Ingredients
For the Croffles
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough or croissant dough 8-count
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
- Nonstick cooking spray or melted butter for the waffle maker
For Topping
- Powdered sugar
- Maple syrup or honey
- Fresh berries
- Whipped cream optional

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the waffle maker
- Turn on your waffle maker and let it heat fully. Lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.
Step 2: Prepare the dough
- Open the refrigerated dough and separate it into triangles. Roll each triangle from the wide end to the pointed end, just like a crescent roll.
Step 3: Add cinnamon sugar
- In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Roll each piece of dough lightly in the mixture, or sprinkle it over the top.
Step 4: Cook the croffles
- Place 1 or 2 rolled pieces of dough into the waffle maker, depending on the size of your machine. Close the lid gently and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
Step 5: Remove carefully
- Use tongs to remove the croffles from the waffle maker. Place them on a cooling rack or plate.
Step 6: Add toppings and serve
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with maple syrup, berries, whipped cream, or your favorite sauce.
