The Cronut Legend.
If you are a food lover, you probably have heard of this out of control craze.
Pastries, cakes and bread - always been my biggest weakness.
And the combination of both croissant and doughnut might just be the best of both worlds!
Just like the cupcake trend, Cronuts are now the latest crazy trend in the world.
The Cronut™ was introduced to the world on 10th May 2013 by Chef Dominique Ansel.
They are sold in his bakery in New York - Ansel's Soho for $5 per piece.
People are willing to wait in line for hours before the bakery is open just to get a taste of these Cronuts! Insanity!
And there is a 2 per customer limit to ensure that the first customers don't buy out all of them.
And to add to this insanity, you could actually buy an official Crolanthropy for $20 to up your Cronuts limit to 4 per person!

Cronuts - half croissant, half doughnut.
Pastries, cakes and bread - always been my biggest weakness.

The crazy long lines in New York.

Also, buying each shirt contributes to the Food Bank - Which means you get help the needy AND get more Cronuts! Awesome!

The Makings of a Cronut™…
Taking 2 months and more than 10 recipes, Chef Dominique Ansel’s creation is not to be mistaken as simply croissant dough that has been fried. Made with a laminated dough which has been likened to a croissant (but uses a proprietary recipe), the Cronut™ is first proofed and then fried in grapeseed oil at a specific temperature. Once cooked, each Cronut™ is flavored in three ways: 1. rolled in sugar; 2. filled with cream; and 3. topped with glaze. Cronuts™ are made fresh daily, and completely done in house. The entire process takes up to 3 days.

There is only one flavor of Cronut™ every month. The inaugural flavor in May was Rose Vanilla, and for June it is Lemon Maple. In July, we introduce the Blackberry Cronut™.

ReplyDeleteI've been absolutely dying to try this LOL. It seems that KL has got a shop called KLonut. Its a twist from the original cronut - puff pastry instead of croissant dough. But till now, I haven't heard of Penangites talking about it, which is why I'm so pumped up in the mid of the night after seeing this blogpost of yours XD
ReplyDeletep.s.: I read about KLonut here http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2013/08/09/KLonut-meet-the.aspx
