Wednesday Word: Cruffy
Cruffy - noun.
It's always fun finding new words in the wild, such as when I bought a package of pastries from the grocery store without realizing they cruffies. Rather dense in texture, I took to the Internet and discovered cruffy, cruffin, croffin all refer to a hybrid croissant-muffin pastry. The first ones were sold in a trailer at the 1984 Pacific National Exhibition, Vancouver, BC although the same Wikipedia article alleges they are an Australian creation from 2013.
Regardless, someone had the idea of putting laminated dough in a muffin mold and added tasty fillings!
