- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a heavy pot over high heat. When oil is shimmery, add a hole to test it. the croissant dough will cook and brown within 10 to 20 seconds when oil is hot enough.
- To fill: Poke 3 holes in the bottom (or just slice in 1/2 and fill , then put top back on--us a serrated knife) of each cronut with a chopstick and fill with the following custard using a pastry bag with a small plain nozzle.. then glaze;
