Why the CRONUT Took Me an Entire WEEK to Make 

I DIED at the part where you put the vanilla seed on your sink 🤣🤣🤣

“I saw this on a cooking show once” *swirls piping bag* *sees the damage caused* I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING 😂😂

I knew I was in for a journey when I saw him read out “heavy cream” and pointed to what was clearly clotted cream instead.

I was mortified when you chucked out the seeds! We’ve learned though. The seeds are where most flavours are. I hope you kept the pod and used them to make vanilla sugar or put them into spirit of choice! I am a new subscriber and been binging on your show. Thank you for your honesty

This episode is just priceless. Can we nominate it for an award or something?

Your nervous face and pure joy when your wife approved of your epically hard work was adorable!! Well done! That was one hell of a journey.

That white line around the fried dough is actually a sign that it's proofed beautifully.

Always throw your vanilla pod into your sugar when you've finished scraping out the vanilla seeds. Your sugar will be so good when used.

The second round of cronuts look incredible!! Btw the way you can tell a donut is good is when you see that white ring in the middle and you freaking nailed it!!

Proving doughnuts on a hot counter, throwing away vanilla seeds, not using the vanilla pod in the cream, overboiling the cream, just lmao. So much goes wrong, it is masterfully orchestrated.

I loved the look on your face when your wife sampled your work of art-truly adorable. I always appreciate your profanity and this episode didn’t disappoint. Finally, I’m thrilled to see your subs rise like yeasted dough-well deserved, Jamie!

I almost fell out when he swung the piping bag. The look on his face 🤣🤣🤣

The fact that you keep going in the face of adversity and make it a learning experience is so admirable.

The infamous vanilla seed video! You referenced this in a newer video (I'm going through random ones) it's so cool to see where you came from Jamie. Your progress in the kitchen is inspiring. Keep it up

I lost it laughing when he swung the piping bag and said 'I saw this on a cookin show once.' 🤣🤣

Whenever you have a dough that because of the hot temperature messed up and has the butter all melted I would suggest you to put it in the fridge and use it as the base of a tart or cheesecake or little pastries. Or bake it in the oven and give it some cinnamon and sugar love :) that way it doesn't go to waste. I really enjoy your videos and always look forward for the next one :) Thank you for being such great cook, entertainer and a person who inspires other!

I just watched further and realised you got rid of the seeds and the look on your face is priceless 😂😂

Your perseverance is admirable😊

You and your wife together are so adorable! The way your whole spirit lit up when she came into the room and praised you for your hard work - that is true love my friend.

I’m so sorry but when you scrapped out the seeds I couldn’t help but laugh. You aren’t an idiot lol it happens lmao Cronut came out beautifully

a tip on the parchment trick with frying! you can actually put the parchment paper in the hot oil. cut out the individual pieces like you did, but rather than holding it right over the oil until it unsticks and plops in, which makes oil splatter everywhere, you can actually slide in whatever you're frying, in this case the cronut, into the oil still on the parchment, with the parchment paper side facing up, and then just peel off the parchment right after with tongs. unlike wax paper, parchment paper is made to withstand high amounts of heat. the finished product looked so amazing, i'm so glad you tried again a second time! also i can't even tell you how much pain i was in watching you throw away all those vanilla seeds down the sink. 🤕

Wow, what an adventure! Love the vanilla oopsie. 😀 It illustrates why it’s a good idea to carefully read through a recipe before starting. But hey, I made a dark chocolate cake a couple weeks ago and got it into the oven before I realized I’d forgotten to add the sugar, so what do I know?

when you opened the vanilla bean i had an anxiety attack 😂😂

Oh, my goodness, your cronuts oozing out of the fridge, looked like a Dali painting, eith the melting clocks. You are too funny. Love what you do!

When I’m having a bad cooking day, I watch one of your videos and I realize that I’m not alone in my kitchen struggles!

No clue how your videos popped up on my page but I put them on in the background, occasionally tabbing in, and it's some real quality entertainment

When I watched you wipe the seeds on your apron like it was icky and toss them in the sink, I gasped. Once you learn the value of the vanilla pot, you'll be amazed why it's so valuable.

Jamie, you are priceless! I laughed so hard during this episode that I had tears streaming down my face. Keep ‘em coming! 😂

Have your partner on the show more often! You light up when she experiences your food!

Dude I love the gimmick where the bowl drops into your hands, very creative.

As someone who makes homemade vanilla extract, I was dying inside with the handling of the vanilla. WTH man. 😅

Epic video!!! Nothing like a vanilla pod to flavour a custard, they’re expensive but so good. You can stick the used pods in sugar to make vanilla sugar or in rum or vodka to flavour that. You can use your leftover rose water to make rose syrup (as a glaze for a cake or just in a drink) just heat the same volume of rose water and sugar until simmering, then you’re done. Keep it up, and oh, most importantly, yay Christy is back!!!!!!

This channel deserves SO MUCH more!! Suggested to my friends!

8:55-9:05 “There are no seeds in here... Where are the seeds??” I’m thinking ON YOUR FINGERSSS!! and waiting for yoy to realise 😂😂😂

Ahhh! Team French chef yeaaah! Awesome video! Bravo monsieur 😍 Question: Why most people think that we are (french chef) always fancy? lol 😂 Pro tip: your butter was a bit too cold, this is why it cracked in the dough. The butter and the dough must be about at the same temperature to get optimum result 😘😍

OMG - This has everything- drama, comedy, suspense ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I make a semi homemade cronut that is super quick and delicious. If you want them quick and easy just buy some grands flaky layers biscuits and make a hole in the middle and deep fry them then cover them in either powdered sugar or a vanilla glaze and they taste just the same.

This is one of the best baking videos I've ever seen 😂

Oh no... as soon as you started wiping those seeds in the sink, I gasped. I felt so bad for you but you figured it out. Oh man. You're fun to watch ;)

I've been watching your more recent stuff, really cute to see you're video from two years ago. You've become a lot more confident and patient since you're early days!

They look great! You've inspired me to give it a try. You and the vanilla pod though 😂!

I am so impressed with how they turned out!

HAHAHAHA!!! I could not stop laughing!!! It was like so many of my own kitchen disasters (but ultimate gems) following online recipes.

I have heard about "the vanilla bean incident," but this is the first time seeing it. I almost spit out my coffee! 😂🤣😅 That was priceless!

I love watching these videos, I also love that while binging I get the experience of a long-time viewer in that seeing 99.9% of issues come from not reading the recipe before. These are so inspiring and fun though, with a great personality.

This whole thing has had me rolling on the floor. From laminating to the vanilla bean seeds...to the cronuts dying, so was I, still haven't stopped laughing. I LOVE you Jamie!

OMG! I’m a new subscriber and I have never enjoyed a video so much in my entire life! I love that you’re brave enough to try these unbelievably difficult recipes, I’m soooo impressed. It makes me feel better seeing someone try a recipe and have it not go so well the first time but it was great the second time. Gives me hope 🤣. I’m so happy I found this channel ❤️

You’re so brave to take this on, much appreciated all your hard work. And they look delicious. You remind me so much of myself ! Whenever I try to make new things. I love it 🥰

This made made me laugh out loud! Thank you I needed this today - having back spasms and stuck in bed and this is the content I needed to make me smile while I wait for my boyfriend to bring me Cronuts now 😂

Just discovered your videos and am totally binging!! You're a riot. Love it!!

Just found this channel recently, there aren't enough words to express how much I'm enjoying your potty mouth and slap dash adventures in the kitchen! Thanks so much, I'm literally laughing out loud!!

I'm back to work tomorrow after a week off and I'm so glad I decided to watch before bed. It gave me a lot of laughs. Love the swearing from the beginning. I love your authentic self! You deserve a slow clap here. Lots of hard work paid off. Also I've never had a cronut but I am surprised to see it had glazes and ganaches etc inside. Cool. (Also the hot glaze looked exactly like hot glue...ouch). You rock Jamie!! Also still waiting for my anti-chef shirt. It's been stuck in Illinois since June 25 😂 I hope it comes soon.

I’ve had multiple cronuts and I have to say that I would much rather have just a donut or just a croissant.

Not you looking for the seeds and then throwing them away😭 , but it’s a learning experience 😂

my advice if you want to deep fry doughnuts or any dough you can just pre cut the parchment paper to the size of the cronut/donut and drop it in hot oil with the parchment paper it will just separate in the frying process and you will have the perfect shaped donuts/cronuts without ruining the shape while frying i love your vids keep it up you're inspiring other people who wants to be a chef ❤ from the Philippines

I’ve been watching your entire catalog since I found your channel less than a month ago, and your determination and good cheer in determination is amazing, refreshing, and pure excellence. You’ve brought joy to how I think about cooking again. I’m having the joy I used to have when I was discovering like you are on your channel. Thank you so much for your work! ✌️🙂🍻 Side note, what’d be killer on those cronuts? A righteous Canadian maple syrup frosting glaze! 🇨🇦

This is making me very tempted to make a cronut 🙈 An amazing episode, honestly. And the last bit with your wife (?) was absolutely adorable!

Inspiring work. Well done, Jamie.

New subscriber, I really enjoy your content. You are super relatable and I love your honesty.

I just found your channel this week, and now I’m binging all the episodes like their cronuts… This one literally made me LOL! Thanks for keeping us foodies entertained!

Looking for the vanilla seeds and finally discovering them... So F’n adorable!! You could just buy a bottle of “vanilla bean paste!” “...STIFF PEAKS.” lol!

Omg! The most hilarious cooking video I’ve ever watched! You are a hoot!

Omg!! I loved this! And when you flung the vanilla bean seeds towards the sink! 😂😂 Good job!! They looked delicious!!

You can use vanilla bean paste as a cheaper alternative to the beans.

Your crazy inspired me again!! I just made the Milkbar Birthday cake last week. (I took a few short cuts tho 🤫🤫) I was pleased with the outcome! These look fantastic...i may have to also try to make them! Thanks for blazing the homebaker trail once again friend!

I needed this show today. Thank you!

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard while watching these baking/cooking videos! You made my day. I love this!!

There is a Cronut shop in our city not far from where I live. Yum-O! I didn't know they were a cross between Croissants and donuts. I thought it was just a cute name they made up. They have all kinds plus other goodies. They have some giant ones also. I think the Bismarck tip is why filled donuts are called Bismarcks. That tip is sharp to make the hole. Good job Jamie! I love watching you cook. I love to cook but will probably go to the Cronut shop for mine. I love making Beignets. Have eaten them at Cafe Dumonde in New Orleans also.

I'm loving this episode.

I love your videos. Started watching from your milkbar recipes. Hope to see more content!

dying at the vanilla seed fiasco hahaha we all learn somewhere 😂

I love that you never give up.

Yasssss. I have been waiting for this. Having watched your progression over the years I have such respect for your skill. Just imagine trying to make this back in your kitchen in CA with those kitchen tools! I made these some years ago for thanksgiving and am thinking this might be a new pandemic cooking goal. What brand and size Dutch oven is that on your stove.

I love your tenacity dude. NEVER GIVE UP!!!

Your videos are a breath of fresh air and a belly laugh too!! Thank you for the fun.

Those are gorgeous!

omg!!! That was insane!!! Love that you keep it real with all the swearing!!! And the piping bag swirl...LOL

Oh my gosh I really needed a good laugh today so I watched this for the second time. Thank you!!!😂😂😂😂😂

Your face when u swrill the piping bag 😂😂😂 and that final delight lovely

Jamie...I was screaming Nooo don't throw the seeds in the sink. That's the gold! You are the most delightful and your antics are hilarious. Ohhh... I have never seen a donut melt 🤣🤣🍩🥐

Oh and "I reallly need to read all the way to the end!" And we're all like "Yes you do!" Aside from that, honestly, that's what endeared me to you when I first saw one of your videos. I was notorious for that in my baking. Nooo winging it in baking sir.

That was awesome!!! Please continue not reading the recipes. I laughed and laughed and laughed.

omg dude your channel is LYFE. greetings from Melbourne Australia, in lockdown 2.0 🤟🏻

I laughed all the way through… you’re so great to watch! Just goibgthrougg the older vids… 🥰😂😊

Way to go, cronuts look bomb!! Hella hard but u did it dude, good job!!

"I saw this on a cooking show once".... LMAO.... Jamie's expression: priceless! Although 2 years in the making as newly subscribed and just viewed, great video!

OMG…. I had to go back THREE YEARS to find the Vanilla Bean Incident…. I laughed so hard my 20-something son came running in to ask what’s wrong!

Omg. This is the funniest show I’ve ever seen. I laughed till I cried. What a hoot you are

So stoked to watch your premiere whilst in LA... kiddos are jet lagged as am i but it was a great episode. Hope all is well

They look incredible!!😃

Ok, I'm going to attempt this recipe over the weekend!

I have never laughed so hard at a cooking video! Swinging the piping bag set me right off!! 😂😂

Lol what a hellish process. I'm glad y'all enjoyed the outcome! Congrats

I laughed... I cried... I wanted a cronut... That was a funny AF episode but I'm glad you did it.

I just found your channel and already subscribed. I have laughed all morning, thanks for that. Chef, please for the love of God, turn the handle for the hot grease pot away from you. Otherwise, rock on because you are so entertaining.

Thank you for the many, many laughs and good for you for not giving up. :)

looks good you are the hardest baker ive seen...lol keep up the great work

Love it!!! You did it again 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Funny as hell!!! Bravo for your perseverance! Vanilla seeds, 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣you always keep them!!! The look on your face was priceless!!!!!

Omg I can't stop laughing, when he cut the vanilla bean and just started flinging it everywhere 😭 $$$
