Instructions
- To prepare French crullers recipe, add water, sugar, butter and salt into a Saucepan, and bring it to boil
- Once all butter is melted, add flour all at once and start stirring continuously, breaking all the lumps, until the dough comes together
- You will start seeing a thin coating of the dough on the pan
- Reduce heat and continue to cook with constant stirring for another 2 to 3 minutes
- We are trying to remove the moisture from the dough as much possible
- Remove the dough from heat, let it cool down for about 10 minutes
- Once dough is cooled a bit, add 1 egg at a time and keep beating with hand beater or stand mixer
- Beat until the egg is completely incorporated into the dough
- Then add the next egg and beat until incorporated well
- Now add 1 egg white at a time and beat well
- Add the next egg white, beat again
- Beat well until you see smooth, shiny, sticky dough
- Put the dough in a piping bag attached to rose (star nozzle)
- Heat oil for deep frying in a Pan
- Cut a couple of 4 x 4 inch square shaped parchment papers
- Grease it with oil
- Squeeze the dough onto to parchment papers
- You can pipe about size 3-inch crullers onto the paper
- Once oil is hot (about 370 degree Fahrenheit), you can start frying crullers on medium heat
- Lift the parchment paper and drop it into hot oil with dough side down
- Wait for a couple of seconds or a minute when the dough leaves the parchment paper
- Using tongs to lift the paper out of oil
- You can add a few crullers at a time depending on the size of the pan you use to fry
- Make sure to fry crullers in low flame, flipping it side to side until it’s fried to golden brown
- Remove from oil and place the fried crullers on kitchen towel
- Repeat this for rest of the dough
- Place all the crullers on wire mesh to cool completely
- Now whisk together icing sugar, honey and milk into smooth glaze
- Dip a cruller fully into the glaze using a fork and remove it and place it on wire mesh to rest for 1 to 2 hours
- That’s it crullers are ready
- I wanted to add a little zing, so I grated a little bit of lime zest on top
- You can even go ahead with orange zest, grate it on top or mix it in glaze
- Serve Crullers recipe as a breakfast or snack along with coffee to enjoy the crispy donuts
