Combine sugar and cinnamon in small bowl; set aside.
Step 4
Lightly flour your work surface, and unroll one sheet of puff pastry dough.

Brush dough with half of beaten egg, and fold puff pastry dough up into thirds
Step 6
While dough is folded in thirds, cut out 3 donuts using a 3-inch donut cutter (or 3-inch round cutter, and then use a smaller round cutter to cut out the hole).
Step 7
Repeat with other sheet of puff pastry dough.
Step 8
Place cut out cronuts and holes on prepared wire rack, and freeze for 15 minutes.
Step 9
While dough is in freezer, heat oil to 375 degrees F in large, deep saucepan over medium-high heat.
Step 10
When oil is up to temperature, fry cronuts 2 at a time until golden brown and puffed—fry 3-5 minutes on one side, flip over, and fry for another 1-2 minutes.
Step 11
Drain briefly on paper towel-lined plate, and then roll cronuts in cinnamon sugar mixture.
Step 12
Repeat with remaining dough and donut holes.
