These easy churro cronuts are deep fried crescent roll doughnuts with a cinnamon sugar topping. Made with convenient refrigerated crescent roll dough, it's easy to satisfy a craving without going to the bakery.

Ingredients

  • 2 , 8 ounce
  • 4 cups oil
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • chocolate sauce or chocolate hazelnut spread for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    Remove dough from each can and unroll to a rectangular shape. Fold the shorter end of 1 sheet up 1/3 of the way. Fold the opposite edge 1/3 of the way to fold over (and cover) the first fold. The dough should have 3 layers. Use a 3-inch cutter to cut 3 circles from the dough. Form the scraps into another layered piece and cut out one more circle. Repeat with the remaining dough sheet. Use a smaller cutter to cut the center out of each circle to form a donut shape and reserve for donut holes.

  2. 2

    Fill a large saucepan halfway with oil and place over medium-high heat to reach a temperature of 350 to 365 degrees F (175 to 183 degrees C). Line a tray with paper towels.

  3. 3

    Combine sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish; set aside.

  4. 4

    Working with 2 to 3 cronuts at a time, carefully lower each cronut into the hot oil. Fry about 1 minute, rotating occasionally, until browned evenly. Drain briefly on the prepared tray. While donuts are still hot, coat evenly in cinnamon sugar. Repeat with remaining cronuts and doughnut holes.

  5. 5

    Serve with chocolate sauce or hazelnut spread for dipping.
