Take note
Be cautious when working with hot oil or frying. Use oven mitts or tongs to handle the donut holes to avoid burns. Ensure the oil is at the right temperature to achieve the desired texture.

1

Prepare the dough

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of instant yeast, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well.

2

Add the wet ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of warm milk, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 beaten egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients mixture. Stir until a sticky dough forms.

3

Knead the dough

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Add more flour if necessary to prevent sticking.

4

Let the dough rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

5

Shape the cronut donut holes

Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release the air. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Use a small round cookie cutter or a bottle cap to cut out circles.

6

Fry the donut holes

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully drop the cronut donut holes into the hot oil and fry them until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

7

Glaze the cronut donut holes

In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Dip each fried cronut donut hole into the glaze and place them on a wire rack to allow the excess to drip off.
