Croffles, otherwise known as croissant waffles, are my latest obsession and Korea’s trendiest street food! Since we can’t travel to Korea right now, I thought I would recreate this sweet treat at home.

What is a croffle?

Croffles are a mashup between croissants and waffles. They are basically made up of a croissant, pressed in a waffle maker to look like a waffle. Think waffle, but when you bite into it, you get several flakey layers and a nice, crispy exterior. It’s the mash up that nobody asked for, but that absolutely works!

What you need to make croffles:

Premade croissant dough: Croffles are simple to make as long as you start with premade croissant dough. Think Pillsbury, or if you are going for higher quality, then unbaked croissant dough from a local bakery. Even puff pastry would work well here! If you are extra ambitious, then go ahead and make your own from scratch!
Sugar: The croissant dough is rolled in sugar to give the exterior of the croffle GBD (golden brown deliciousness) once it’s cooked. You can use either white granulated sugar here or brown sugar.
Waffle maker: Duh…this is an absolute must of course. I use this waffle maker.
That’s it! It couldn’t be any simpler.

How to make croffles:

Croffles are super simple to make. All you need to do is roll up your croissant dough as if you were going to make a croissant. Then, cover it in sugar so that it caramelizes when it cooks. Next, press it in your preheated waffle iron until it cooks all the way through and turns golden brown. Watch my quick TikTok video below to see just how simple it is:
