Cutting

Cut the log into sections about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.

Arranging in Muffin Tin

Place the cut pieces upright in a greased muffin tin.

Egg Wash

Beat the egg in a small bowl and apply a thin layer on the tops of the pastries.

Bake the cruffins for about 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden brown.

Cooling

Allow the cruffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
