Two weeks ago, Dominique Ansel introduced the world to the mystical Cronut, a croissant-doughnut hybrid. It is glorious.
These are Cronuts, and they are perfect in every way.

Cronut = the shape, fried-ness, and creamy interior of a doughnut + the flaky, delicate pastry layers of a croissant.

The Cronut's creator is the French pastry chef Dominique Ansel, of Dominique Ansel Bakery in New York.
Ansel is a 2013 James Beard Award finalist for Outstanding Pastry Chef. And if there is any justice in the world, he should receive a Lifetime Achievement award for blessing this nation with the Cronut.

Dominique Ansel tried about ten different recipes over two months before perfecting the Cronut.
