   • 1991, Diane White, "Munching in the '90s -- will doughnuts topple the croissant?", Boston Globe, 3 March 1991:

     Could it have been a hybrid, a marriage of croissant and doughnut? The Cronut? The Doughsant?

   • 2013, Emily Shire, "Everything you need to know about the cronut", The Week, 6 June 2013:

     You can't overlook the fact that the culinary skill needed to create cronuts is extremely high; pastry dough in a fryer usually "separates instantly and parts six ways to Sunday," says Merwin.

     Botshka added that he doesn't understand the draw of the cronut burger, which combines a doughnut and croissant into a burger that is topped with maple bacon jam.
