Instructions

  1. 1 Complete all steps in How to Make Cronuts, Part 1 (The Dough) .
  2. 2 Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a deep saucepan over medium heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  3. 3 Carefully lift a risen cronut from the baking sheet and gently drop it into the hot oil. Fry two at a time until golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Cronuts will puff up as they cook. Drain on racks over paper towels; let cool. Repeat to fry cronut holes.
  4. 4 Whisk confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla for glaze in a shallow bowl until smooth and slightly runny.
  5. 5 Higher-Rising Cronuts:
  6. 6 Pick up a fried cronut and gently dip the top in glaze; return to the rack and let stand until glaze has set, about 15 minutes.
  7. 7 When ready to make the remaining cronuts, remove the second half of the dough from the refrigerator (from Step 5 of How to Make Cronuts, Part 1 (The Dough) ). Let sit for 30 minutes.
  8. 8 Roll dough on a floured surface into an 8x12-inch rectangle. Fold dough in thirds and roll again into a 3/4-inch thick rectangle. Use a sharp 3-inch round cutter to cut 6 circles of dough from the piece on the work surface. Use a 1-inch round cutter to cut the donut holes out of the dough circles.
  9. 9 Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and dust paper lightly with flour. Place cronuts and holes onto the prepared baking sheet and let rise in a draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  10. 10 Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a deep saucepan over medium heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  11. 11 Carefully lift a risen cronut from the baking sheet and gently drop it into the hot oil. Fry two at a time until golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. The extra fold and thicker dough will result in taller cronuts than before. Let fried cronuts drain on racks. Repeat to fry cronut holes.
  12. 12 Dip in remaining glaze and let stand until glaze sets, about 15 minutes.

Repeat with remaining crust until you have 8 equal rectangles, re-rolling some of the scraps of dough if needed.
  4. 4 Wet the outer edges of 4 rectangles with water and place some apple filling in the center, about 1/2-inch from the edges. Roll out the remaining 4 rectangles so that they are slightly larger than the filled ones. Place these rectangles on top of the filling; crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Cut 4 small slits in the tops of the pies.

  1. 1 Bring water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Add vegetable oil, sugar, and salt. Stir to combine. Add flour and turn off heat. Stir continuously and vigorously with a wooden spoon until dough balls up and follows your spoon around the pan, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside to cool when dough feels firm and supple.
  2. 2 Heat 3/4- to 1 inch of grapeseed oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat.
  3. 3 While oil heats, combine heavy cream, dark chocolate, chocolate-hazelnut spread, butter, sugar, and ground coffee in a pan set over lowest heat. Stir often to ensure even melting, 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. 4 Grease the inside of a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Insert dough and squeeze it all the way to the bottom of the bag.
  5. 5 Insert the handle of a wooden spoon into the oil heating in the pot; if it bubbles steadily, the oil is ready. Carefully squeeze dough out of the bag directly into the hot oil, cutting it off at 6-inch lengths. You can also pipe lengths of dough onto parchment paper and transfer them to the oil by hand. Do not crowd the pot.
  6. 6 Fry churros, turning every minute, for 2 to 3 minutes total. Transfer fried churros to a dish lined with paper towels.
  7. 7 Place cardamom seeds, cinnamon stick, and star anise in a spice grinder and blend to a fine powder. Transfer to a wide dish and add sugar. Mix well to combine.
  8. 8 Toss warm churros into the cinnamon-cardamom sugar. Serve alongside a dipping cup of the chocolate sauce.

Instructions

  1. 1 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown pork chops in the hot oil on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes total.
  2. 2 Mix water, wine, soy sauce, ginger, paprika, turmeric, salt, and pepper together in a container. Pour mixture over pork chops; it's okay if chops are not completely covered with the liquid.
  3. 3 Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil, leaving a gap for steam to escape, and simmer, without flipping, just until there is no liquid remaining and chops are no longer pink in the centers, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
