CRULLERS



Crullers image

Sometimes a cruller is a doughnut dough leavened with yeast or baking powder that's shaped into a long twist, deep fried and sprinkled with sugar or glazed with a thin icing. The traditional French cruller is made from pate a choux and is basically hollow. The word "cruller" comes from the Dutch word "krulle" or "krullen," meaning twisted cake.

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup water
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick)
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk

Steps:

  • Make the Crullers: Combine the water, butter, sugar, and salt in a large saucepan and bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Immediately remove from the heat, add all the flour at once, and stir hard with a wooden spoon until all the flour is incorporated, about 30 to 60 seconds. Return the pan to the heat and cook, stirring, to evaporate some of the moisture, about 2 minutes.
  • Scrape the mixture into a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or use a hand mixer or mix by hand), and mix at medium speed. With the mixer running, and adding 1 egg at a time, add 3 of the eggs, stopping after each addition to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Mix until the dough is smooth and glossy and the eggs are completely incorporated. The dough should be thick, but should fall slowly and steadily from the beaters when you lift them out of the bowl. If the dough is still clinging to the beaters, add another egg and mix until completely incorporated.
  • Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Using a pastry bag fitted with a star tip (use a large size, like #12), pipe the dough onto the sheet pan in rows of 2 1/2-inch rings. Freeze them for 30 minutes to make them easier to pick up.
  • Meanwhile, make the Glaze: Stir together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl.
  • Pour the vegetable oil into a large pot to a depth of 2 inches and heat to 325 degrees F. Working in batches, lift the dough circles off the sheet pan and carefully slip them into the oil. Fry, turning once, until lightly browned. Drain the crullers on a brown paper bag; then dip them completely in the glaze. Let the crullers cool and set before serving.

SIMPLE ORANGE GLAZE



Simple Orange Glaze image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted, plus more if needed
1/4 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
3 tablespoons fresh orange juice, plus more if needed

Steps:

  • Whisk together all ingredients until smooth. If necessary, add more sugar to thicken or more juice to thin the glaze. Use immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh orange juice: Fresh orange juice provides the best flavor for the glaze. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use store-bought orange juice, but make sure it's 100% juice with no added sugar.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When frying the crullers, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the crullers to stick together and not cook evenly.
  • Fry the crullers until they're golden brown: The crullers should be fried until they're golden brown on all sides. This will ensure that they're cooked through.
  • Let the crullers cool before glazing: Before glazing the crullers, let them cool for a few minutes. This will help the glaze to set properly.
  • Use a toothpick to drizzle the glaze: A toothpick is a great tool for drizzling the glaze over the crullers. This will help you to create a thin, even glaze.

Conclusion:

Orange glazed crullers are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create these delicious pastries that are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give orange glazed crullers a try!
