Easy Homemade Cronuts
Ingredients
1 package crescent rolls (from the tube)
oil for frying
1 cup sugar (powdered)
2-3 teaspoons water or milk
Instructions
First up, layer each dough before cutting it into donuts. This is how you get all those crazy layers in a cronut.
This also means you'll only get 3-6 cronuts out of each package. So, if you wanna make a ton, you better buy a lot of dough.
Next, fry the dough ( use canola oil) at around 350°F. For the puff pastry dough, fry for about 45-50 seconds on each side. For the crescent roll dough, fry for about 30 seconds on each side.
A good rule of thumb in deep frying (non-meat) items is they should be done within about 60 seconds total. But always do one first, cut it open and see. If it looks undercooked then you'll want to adjust your fry time, not temperature.
After frying, remove the cronuts to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up excess grease. Then make a glaze from 1 cup powdered sugar and a few teaspoons of water whisked in.
