Instructions
Preparation Steps
In a large bowl, mix the warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast, and let it rest for about 5 minutes until frothy. This will help your cruffins rise beautifully.
Once it's frothy, stir in the melted butter and salt, followed by the all-purpose flour. Mix until a smooth dough forms. Knead it gently for a few minutes until it's tacky but not sticky.
Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough into a rectangle, then brush with melted butter and sprinkle with chocolate chips before rolling it up tightly.
Cut the rolled dough into slices and place them into a muffin tin. Bake for about 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
Let them cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy these flaky, sweet cruffins with a cup of coffee or tea!
