1

Prepare the dough

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of instant yeast, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.

2

Add butter and milk

Melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and add it to the dry ingredients. Warm 1/2 cup of milk and pour it into the mixture. Mix until the dough comes together.

3

Let it rise

Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

4

Shape the cronuts

Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness on a floured surface. Cut out circles using a round cookie cutter. Then, cut a small hole in the center of each circle to create the classic cronut shape.

5

Fry to perfection

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to about 375°F (190°C). Gently place the cronuts in the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and let them drain on a paper towel.

Coat with love

Prepare a glaze by mixing 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Dip the fried cronuts into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off.
