Super important - doughnut related = Found it

[TrickyBob]

The crescent shaped doughnuts, they are glazed and flaky and awesome.



What are they called?





(I read an article on yahoo how they've come up with this awesome new "cronut" that is a cross between a croissant and a doughnut, but it made me think of the ones without a name because that is pretty much what it is already.)

Are you talking about a Croissant donut? Like a croissant deep fried, dipped in glaze and then passed off as a donut?

I've never encountered this delicious-sounding anomaly.

I've been lurking for a while and it always feels like so much pressure to do a first post. But donuts seem like a good reason to come out of hiding. Do you mean a bear claw?

You're really going to post this sans photo?

Also an interesting fact: if you google image search "crescent shaped donut" you get pictures of naked breasts. I guess both crescent an donut are types of breast lifts you can have done.

A french cruller?

I have had these clouds of fried glazed goodness. They are, in fact, croissants, deep fried an glaze like a doughnut. They are delightful.

They sound like medialunas. And they are amazing.

This is one reason that I love Tuesdays. A vendor brings in delicious donuts around 10am every week. Mmmmmmmm donuts.

There is almost a riot if he doesn't show up one week.

I've never heard of this, but they sound pretty amazing. Nothing better than a good croissant (and nothing worse than a bad one).

Favorite donuts ever.

They are pretty good. I was in Canada once and asked for a cruller- meaning one like we have in the US. They gave me a french cruller and I was so dissapointed. (wilted)

[who22]

Well, my 14 year old self was. But only because my mouth was watering for a chocolate american style cruller and I was still hungry but didn't have time to eat anything else.

[TrickyBob]

I cannot find a picture of it because I don't know the name. haha. I know my Dad always got them when he got doughnuts. They are hallow inside but they are pretty big. And delicious.

I have to go to the bank today and the grocery store is right next door, I might stop and get doughnuts. I'll see if I can find it and take a picture. And I'm sure it'll have the name. IF they have them.

They are fairly large also.

[TrickyBob]

It's not what I think of when I think of a croissant. I don't know if these have a different name or not.

It's just like a French cruller, except less surrendery and more high fructose corn syrup

I guess Dunkin' Donuts changed the name. It's now called a cake stick. When I was a kid they were called crullers.

Oh, I know those. Thanks.

Now I want a doughnut.

[venice2007]

And now I need to go to DD at lunch. I need to hold back and be good but holy hell now I want all the donuts!

[TrickyBob]

I stopped at the grocery store. Giant Markets lists them as "gourmet croissants". And they cost $1.79

I bought ben and jerry's instead.
