BLOODY BRULEE CRONUT

Image
  These cuties are so easy to make. The recipe is very simple. There are only 4 ingredients (and water which is optional). You could do without the blue food coloring, but that makes the blood look darker and more convincing. INGREDIENTS: 2 Sheets (17 oz) - Puff Pastry 2 Cups - Sugar 1 Drop - Blue Food Coloring 8-10 Drops - Red Food Coloring 1 Gallon - Frying Oil INSTRUCTIONS 1. Spread out the puff pastry sheets--one on top of the other. If the puff pastry doesn't stick together well, you can brush some water between the sheets to help it adhere better. 2. Use a cookie cutter or a knife to cut desired shapes. We used a bottle cap to cut 2 inch circles. If you use a knife, you can make them squares (about 2 inches on each side). 3. Fry the dough in the oil until golden brown. They will puff up a bit. To help them along you can carefully help submerge them. 4. Remove from oil when they're fully cooked and place on a wire rack to cool and allow excess oil to drain. 5. I...

Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together. This is our dry ingredients. Note: Usually, you'll beat the sugar in with the butter and wet ingredients, which should work in this recipe too, but to ease we just...
