Cronuts Homemade (Printable Version)

# What You’ll Need:

01 - 1 tbsp vanilla extract.
02 - 1 cup whipped cream or pastry cream.
03 - 1/2 cup sugar for rolling.
04 - 2 cups vegetable oil, for frying.
05 - 1 tsp vanilla extract.
06 - 1 egg.
07 - 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast.
08 - 1/2 cup warm milk.
09 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and chopped.
10 - 1 tsp salt.
11 - 1/4 cup sugar.
12 - 2 cups plain flour.

# Steps To Make It:

01 - Toss the fried doughnuts in sugar, then pipe in the cream.
02 - Once oil hits 350°F, cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown.
03 - Punch out circles, let them puff up for 30 minutes.
04 - Flatten dough into a rectangle and fold it up like a letter. Do that three times.
05 - Cover the dough and pop it in the fridge for an hour.
06 - Work the dough for 5–7 minutes so it turns smooth.
07 - Blend in the yeast-milk, egg, and vanilla to make a soft dough.
08 - Stir together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter until crumbs form.
09 - Mix yeast into the warm milk and wait about 5 minutes for bubbles to show up.

# Extra Notes:

01 - Cold dough makes those flaky layers pop.
02 - Don’t let your oil get too cold or hot—keeps them crisp.
03 - These are best fresh the day you make 'em.
04 - Change the filling if you want—lots of options work!
