Instructions
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the water, butter, sugar, and salt. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a smooth ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. The dough should be smooth and glossy.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 175°C (350°F).
- Spoon the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
- Pipe rings of dough onto a sheet of parchment paper or directly into the hot oil. Each cruller should be approximately 8-10cm (3-4 inches) in diameter.
- Fry the crullers in batches, turning them over once, until they are golden brown and puffed up, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Remove the crullers from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the glaze by whisking together the icing sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Dip each cooled cruller into the glaze, allowing any excess glaze to drip off.
- Place the glazed crullers on a wire rack to set for about 10 minutes.
- Serve the French Crullers while they are still fresh and enjoy!
Notes
- French Crullers are best enjoyed on the same day they are made for optimal texture and taste.
- You can dust the crullers with powdered sugar instead of using the glaze if you prefer.
- Feel free to get creative with the glaze by adding food colouring or other flavourings, such as lemon or almond extract.
