Cronuts: Make your own, the really lazy way
“What’s the big deal about cronuts?” one of my co-workers asked. “Every time I turn on my computer, I find something about cronuts.”
In Kansas City, the conversation about cronuts – a combination croissant and fried doughnut that has become nothing short of a craze in New York City – is mostly a rant about not being able to find them at local doughnut shops. (If any of our readers know where to find one in the metro, let me know…please.) There are plenty of sites on the Internet, for you DIY types, to find recipes and videos for the at-home cronut (including this labor-intensive, but good version), but I was naturally drawn to the Cro-Magnon cronut recipes. You know, the ones that pass over the requirement for actually making croissant dough. Why go there when there are low-cost cans of Pillsbury cresent-roll dough in my supermarket refrigerator case just beckoning me?
