Cruffin A cruffin is a hybrid of a croissant, a popular French pastry, and a muffin. It was originally trademarked in 1993 by a PF BRANDS, INC, from Delaware, then later again by Wholesome Bakery in Canada, though there is no evidence to show whether these companies ever produced a pastry with the title. The first known Cruffin to be created was by Kate Reid of Lune Croissanterie in Melbourne, Australia in 2013. The Cruffin was later popularized and trademarked by Mr. Holmes Bakehouse, from San Francisco. 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.
