Ingredients

crullers

  • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • cup water
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 ⅓ cups all purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 large egg white

vanilla ban glaze

  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • ½ vanilla bean, scraped
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons milk

to fry

  • oil

Instructions

  • In a medium pot bring milk, water, butter, sugar, salt, and cinnamon to a boil, over medium-high heat. Stir in pumpkin and continue to boil. Lower heat to medium-low, add flour and stir together with a wooden spoon. Continue to stir together, for 4 to 5 minutes, to ensure raw dough flavor has been cooked out. Dough should lift from bottom of pot easily.
  • Transfer dough to a stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, and beat until all steam dissipates, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Once dough has cooled, add eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to mix in completely before adding the next one. Finally add egg white and continue to beat together until a thick, sticky batter forms.
  • Cover batter and refrigerate for at least one hour and up to 1 day.
  • Cut 16, 3”x 3” squares of parchment paper and set aside.
  • Fill a large pot with 3 inches oil and heat to 350˚F.
  • Fill a large piping bag, fitted with a large star tip, with batter. Pipe a cruller ring onto each cut square of parchment paper.
  • Once oil is hot, carefully place a cruller into the hot oil, parchment side up. Once cruller is in oil gently peel parchment away from cruller, with tongs, and discard.
  • Fry cruller for about 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer cruller to a baking sheet, fitted with a cooling rack. Repeat until all crullers have been fried.
  • Glaze: Place all ingredients into a mixing bowl and gently whisk together until smooth.
  • Dip each cruller in vanilla bean glaze, or pour glaze over crullers. Allow crullers to sit for 15 to 20 minutes or until glaze has hardened. Serve.
