Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Waffle Iron

Turn on your waffle iron and let it heat fully. A hot waffle iron is key for crispy croffles. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Croissant Dough

Open the can of croissant dough and separate the triangles. For classic croffles, you can roll each triangle into a croissant shape or fold it loosely into a ball. Flatten slightly with your hands so it fits in the waffle iron.

Step 3: Cook the Croffles

Place one piece of dough in the center of the waffle iron. Close the lid gently—don’t press too hard, as the dough will expand. Cook for 3–5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Cooking time varies by waffle iron, so check after 3 minutes. You want deep golden color and crisp edges.

Step 4: Remove and Cool Slightly

Carefully remove the croffle with tongs or a fork. Let it cool for 1–2 minutes to allow the layers to set and crisp up further. Repeat with remaining dough.

Step 5: Add Toppings and Serve

Serve croffles warm with your favorite toppings. Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with syrup, or pile on fruit and whipped cream. For savory croffles, add cheese, eggs, or bacon while the croffle is still hot so everything melts perfectly.

📝 Notes

Use store-bought croissant dough for a quick and easy croffle shortcut.
Lightly grease the waffle iron to prevent sticking and ensure crisp edges.
Cook until golden and flaky—press gently but do not flatten the dough too much.
Top with powdered sugar, maple syrup, Nutella, or fresh fruit for extra flavor.
Sweeten with cinnamon sugar or honey butter for a dessert-style croffle.
For savory croffles, add cheese, ham, or garlic butter before cooking.
Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a toaster or oven to re-crisp.
