Cronut cross-section

The cronut is a viennoiserie developed and trademarked in New York in 2013 by the French pastry-chef Dominique Ansel.[1][2] Resembling a doughnut, it is made from viennoiserie dough filled with flavored cream and fried in grapeseed oil. The name is a portmanteau of "croissant" and "doughnut".

Origin

Dominique Ansel Bakery, New York City

In 2013, the French bakery owner Dominique Ansel created the cronut out of yeasted viennoiserie dough with flavored cream inside.[3][4] It took Ansel two months to perfect the recipe.[5]

Ansel introduced the Cronut on May 10, 2013, at Dominique Ansel Bakery in New York's SoHo neighborhood. That night, a blogger from Grub Street, the online restaurant blog from New York magazine, reported on the new pastry.[3][1] The post resulted in much interest and online circulation, and by the third day, a line of over 100 people had formed outside the shop to buy it.[4]

Within nine days of introducing the pastry, Ansel filed for a trademark for the name "Cronut" at the United States Patent and Trademark Office,[6] which was approved.[7][8]

Similar products

After the release of the Cronut, similar products have sprung up throughout the world including some with different names such as the Kelownut,[9] Doughssant,[10] Crullant,[11] zonut,[12] and others.[13][14][15]

Dominique Ansel released an at-home Cronut recipe in his cookbook, Dominique Ansel: The Secret Recipes, in 2015, for bakers to attempt in their own homes. Like the original pastry made at Ansel's bakeries, the process takes three days.[16]

Reception

Writing for the Village Voice in May 2013, Tejal Rao proclaimed the Cronut Ansel's "masterpiece".[17] Time magazine named the Cronut one of the best inventions of 2013.[18]

The book The Tapper Twins Tear Up New York by Geoff Rodkey features Cronuts.[19]
