Have you ever tried cronuts?
A cronut is a cross between a croissant and a donut - and let's be honest, we can't imagine a better combination! The buttery puff pastry of a croissant is cut out like a donut and then fried in hot fat. We'll show you how you can easily make this trendy pastry from New York at home with our new recipe:
Remove the croissant dough from the packet and then fold the pieces of dough over each other at the ends and press down to form a large sheet of dough. Fold the dough and roll it out with a rolling pin.
Repeat this step 2 times. This gives the cronuts their typical layers. Now cut out approx. 8 pieces of dough with a round cutter (e.g. a large cup or glass; a shot glass is suitable for the hole in the middle).
Turn on the deep fryer and heat the oil. While the oil is heating, cook the vanilla pudding for the cream filling according to the instructions on the packet. Then cover with foil and leave to cool until lukewarm.
Fry the dough pieces in the hot oil for approx. 4 minutes on each side and then drain on kitchen paper.
Roll the drained, warm cronuts in sugar and leave to cool. Now fill the custard into a piping bag and fill the pastry with the cream.
