How to Make Easy Homemade Desserts Rolls ( Cronuts)
- Make the night before:
Prepare a large pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray and place the frozen croissants on it, well spaced. They will grow a lot! Leave out overnight to rise , about 7 to 10 hours. Next day..... - the croissants should already be roughly in a circle shape but if you want them perfect, gently shape the dough into an even round gently.
- Now use a cookie cutter or decorators icing tip. to cut holes in the middle. Save the holes to use as testers for the oil.
- 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.
- Carefully lower the cronuts into the oil in batches. Don't overcrowd the pan. They will brown very quickly.5 to 10 seconds on each side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat until all are fried.
- These can be filled or just glazed.
to glaze put the zest from the orange or lemon and the juice of either with the vanilla into a bowl. Add powdered sugar and stir until it's the consistency of Elmer's glue.
dip the warm Cronuts into the glaze. - 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;
Filling:
1 cup milk
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon cornstarch

Place the cream in a piping bag with a small plain nozzle. Fill the 3 holes you made. - more ideas
