Preparation Steps:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Puff Pastry. Thaw puff pastry sheets as per package instructions, roll out to 1/4 inch thickness.
  2. Step 2: Cut the Cronuts. Use a large cutter for circles and a smaller one for the center to form the cronut shape.
  3. Step 3: Make the Egg Wash. Whisk together the egg and water in a small bowl.
  4. Step 4: Heat the Oil. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).

  6. Step 6: Cool and Dust. Transfer fried cronuts to a cooling rack and dust with powdered sugar while warm.

Notes

  • Keep puff pastry cold until frying for a flakier texture.
  • Try different fillings like custard or fruit preserves.
  • Monitor oil temperature to avoid burning.
  • Drizzle a glaze over the cronuts for extra sweetness.
