CRULLERS
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.

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.

ORANGE GLAZED CRULLERS
You could really tell these were homemade,lol. Not by taste, they tasted awesome. But they untwisted. Some during rising, just wouldn't re-twist, some while frying. I like a bit stronger orange flavor in my baking so I added just a dash of extract to the glaze. They were a real hit with Hubby's work crew, & him. I really hope...

Tips:
- Make sure the milk and butter are at room temperature before you start. This will help the ingredients incorporate smoothly and create a more even batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the crullers tough.
- If the dough is too sticky to handle, add a little more flour. You may also need to chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling and cutting it.
- Be careful when frying the crullers. The oil should be hot, but not too hot, or the crullers will brown too quickly and not cook through.
- Drain the crullers on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
- While the glaze is warm, dip each cruller in the glaze and turn to coat.
- Place the glazed crullers on a wire rack to cool.
