Equipment

  • 1 non-stick waffle iron
  • 1 Tongs

Ingredients
  

  • 1 roll gluten-free puff pastry dough I use Schar
  • 6 tsp brown sugar see notes

Instructions
 

Prep the puff pastry dough

  • Thaw the puff pastry dough via package instructions (some instructions may need to be left in the refrigerator overnight).

Preheat the waffle iron

  • Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufactures instructions.

Cut the dough and shape croissants

  • Prepare the dough. Unroll the dough. Schar Puff Pastry dough is already the correct thickness (about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick).
  • Cut the dough into 6 equal rectangles. To do this, use a sharp knife of pizza cutter and cut the rolled-out dough into triangles.
    For this, cut the pastry into long strips, then cut each strip diagonally to form triangles. The size of the triangles can vary depending on how large you want your croffles to be.
  • Take one triangle at a time and gently stretch it lengthwise to elongate it slightly. Start rolling from the base of the triangle towards the tip, forming a crescent shape. The pointed tip of the triangle should be tucked under the croissant to secure its shape. Repeat this process with the remaining triangles.

Cook the Croffles

  • Before placing the croissant on the waffle iron, roll it in brown sugar. Then, place the croissants onto the preheated waffle iron. I placed 4 at a time due to their size. Then, close the lid and cook the croffle until it is golden brown and crispy. The cooking time will vary depending on your waffle iron but mine took 4-6 minutes.

Serve Croffles

  • Carefully remove the hot croffles from the waffle iron and transfer to a serving platter. Enjoy with fresh fruit, 100% maple syrup, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

I used 1/2 of brown sugar to roll the mini croissants in and approximated about 1/2 tsp attached to each croffle. 
Nutrition facts will vary depending on how much brown sugar sticks to your croffle.
