Da Paolo is the only place in Singapore where I can get a pastry that is the closest to a cronut, here they call it the crodo (same thing!). I finally got my hands on one on Sunday morning. Paying $5 was definitely too much for a pastry, and I felt that the whole combination was too sweet and just too much for me.
I may not be trying the original, best one from New York, but from the looks and sounds of it, it can't be that different right?
I like making my own version of pastry/cakes I have tried so that I can do it my way and tune in to my tastes. I'm not a fan of doughnuts because I think they are just round pieces of fried dough... so I decided to make the next best thing - mini doughnut muffins.
They were bite sized, moist and soft with just the right amount of sweetness. Did I mention that it only takes 30 minutes to make this? With that one bite from a cronut, I could probably pop 5 of these in my mouth with the same amount of calories!
