  • whisk confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a shallow bowl until glaze is smooth and slightly runny.
  • pick up a fried cronut and gently dip the top in glaze; return to rack and let stand until glaze has set, about 15 minutes.
  • alternate version: for higher-rising cronuts, roll out finished dough (see part i) into an 8x12 inch rectangle. fold dough in thirds and roll out into a rectangle about 3/4 inch thick. cut out 6 cronuts and holes, using a 3-inch round cutter and a 1-inch small hole cutter.
  • line baking sheet with waxed paper and dust paper lightly with flour. place cronuts and holes prepared baking sheet and let rise in a draft-free place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • carefully pick up and gently drop cronuts, 2 at a time, into the preheated oil. fry 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. the extra fold and making the dough thicker will result in taller cronuts than before. let fried cronuts drain on racks.
  • dip tops of cronuts in glaze as described above, and let cool on racks to let glaze set up.
