How to make cronuts part ii –Today, I’m excited to share a delicious and fun recipe that combines the flakiness of croissants with the sweetness of donuts: Cronuts! These easy-to-make treats are perfect for breakfast or a sweet afternoon snack. Let’s dive into the recipe.
Easy Cronuts Recipe
First, let’s take a look at what our finished product will look like:
Ingredients
To make these delightful cronuts, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 can Pillsbury crescent rolls
- 1 cup of vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup of milk
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Optional: cinnamon for dusting
Instructions
Now, let’s go through the steps to create these tasty cronuts:
- Start by unrolling the Pillsbury crescent rolls on a flat surface. Carefully pinching the seams together to create a single sheet of dough. This will ensure a nice flaky texture.
- Using a donut cutter or two round cookie cutters of different sizes, cut a large circle and a small circle in the center to form the shape of your cronut.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer over medium heat. You’ll want it to reach about 350°F (175°C) for frying.
- Once your oil is hot, carefully place the cronuts in the oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown. This should take about 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the cronuts from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain off excess oil.
- While they cool, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If you want a thicker glaze, simply add more powdered sugar.
- Dunk the cooled cronuts into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. If desired, sprinkle with cinnamon for an extra layer of flavor.
- Finally, serve your crunchy, sweet cronuts immediately and enjoy every bite!
These easy cronuts are sure to impress family and friends. With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can create a treat that’s both beautiful and delicious. Enjoy your baking adventure!
