But now you can just cut out the middleman and make one for yourself at home with Dominique Ansel’s [official recipe](http://abcnews.go.com/Lifestyle/dominque-ansels-cronut-recipe-revealed-gma/story?id=25990081). Note: this recipe will take you three days, as _Good Morning America_ [points out.](http://abcnews.go.com/Lifestyle/dominque-ansels-cronut-recipe-revealed-gma/story?id=25990081) It has also earned an “extreme” difficulty rating, which is not at all surprising. If you’re still willing to take on the task, basic ingredients for the dough include: * 1 large egg white * 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (84% butterfat), softened * 1 tablespoon heavy cream While basic ingredients for the “butter block,” an important part of croissant-baking, include: * 18 tablespoons unsalted butter (84% butterfat), softened * Grapeseed oil as needed * Glaze of your choice as needed * Decorating sugar of your choice as needed You’ll also need some special equipment like a stand mixer with dough hook and whisk attachments, a deep-frying thermometer and uncut piping bags. Then, you’ll need three days to complete various prep work. Let us assure you: there are SO. MANY. STEPS. So, so many.
