Easy Croffle Recipe
Start your morning off right by biting into the buttery layers of a warm croffle. I love this easy croissant waffle recipe because it’s perfect for busy mornings but looks like it came straight from a local bakery. I enjoy these croffles in 14 different ways, sweet or savory depending on my mood. The best part is you only need 2 simple ingredients and 10 minutes to make this delicious breakfast!

Equipment
- Waffle Iron
Ingredients
Choose One Of These Dough Options
- 1 packet croissant dough
- 4 sheets frozen puff pastry
- 8 frozen unbaked croissants
Other Ingredients Needed
- 6 tbsp sugar
Instructions
- If using the croissant dough: Roll the croissant dough piece to form a crescent shape by rolling the dough from the larger base end up to the pointed end.
- If using puff pastry: Allow the pastry to thaw and come to room temperature before cutting the softened dough into large triangles and roll each one to form a crescent shape as described above (in the croissant dough step).
- If using frozen unbaked croissants: Allow the croissants to thaw and come to room temperature.
- Heat the waffle maker as instructed by the manufacturer.
- Roll the prepared dough crescents in sugar and lightly press to flatten.
- Cook in the heated waffle maker, you may need to cook one at a time, until lightly golden and cooked through. You may need to lightly spray the waffle maker to prevent the croissants from sticking.
- Remove and repeat with remaining dough.
- Serve immediately with a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- My #1 Secret Tip for this recipe is to make sure the dough has defrosted overnight in the fridge so it’s soft and easy to bend without breaking.
- Even Cooking: I like to lightly flatten the croissants before cooking to ensure they cook evenly. If not, some parts of the croffle can end up doughy.
- Avoid Sticking: I always lightly spray the waffle press with cooking spray to keep my Belgian croissant waffles from sticking or burning.
- Do Not Overfill: I make sure not to overfill the dough, or the filling will leak out and burn while cooking.
- Make Them Mini: After unrolling my croissant dough, I cut it vertically in half to make two smaller triangles. I use these mini croissants to make bite-sized croffles that are perfect for the kids!
