Homemade Cronuts Recipe

What you need:

1 package of refrigerated Pillsbury Uncut Crescent Sheets
1 snack-size (4-ounce) container of vanilla pudding
2 cups Powdered Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
1 tbsp Milk
Vegetable Oil (for Frying)

How to make Homemade Cronuts:

Fill a deep pan with enough oil to fill it at least 2 inches deep.
Heat over medium heat to 350.
Lay out your dough and fold it in half in one direction then fold in half in the other.
Cut about 3″ circles from the dough using biscuit cutter (or you can do what I do a use a wide mouth glass).
Cut 1″ circles from the center of each 3″ shape.
You can keep your 1″ circles to cook as cronut holes.
Gather up scraps from between 3″ circles, roll and cut an additional cronut.

Fry the donuts for about 90 seconds on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Drain on paper towels, and allow to cool before glazing.
Mix powdered sugar, vanilla and 1 tablespoon of milk. If needed, add additional milk 1/2 tablespoon at a time until a glaze consistency is reached.
Split a cooled cronut in half and fill with 2 tablespoons of pudding then replace top.
Drizzle top with glaze and allow it to set.

Enjoy!
