Ingredients
  

For the Choux Dough
  • 1 cup Water Provides essential moisture for the choux dough; no substitutions allowed.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Adds richness and flavor; can be swapped with dairy-free milk alternatives.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Ensures a rich taste and helps with texture; margarine or dairy-free butter is a suitable substitute.
  • 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar Sweetens the dough; coconut sugar can be used for a less refined option.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Enhances overall flavor; no substitutions needed.
  • 1 cup Bread Flour Provides necessary structure and chew; all-purpose flour works but may alter the texture.
  • 4 large Large Eggs Binds ingredients for a puffy texture; for a vegan option, consider using flaxseed meal.
For Frying
  • 4 cups Vegetable or Canola Oil Required for frying, ensuring a neutral flavor; avoid olive oil due to its lower smoking point.
For the Strawberry Glaze
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar Sweetens and thickens the glaze; no alternatives for the intended consistency.
  • 1 cup Fresh Strawberries Essential for flavor and color; use only ripe strawberries for best results.
  • 1/4 cup Optional Strawberry Sugar Freeze-dried strawberries add concentrated strawberry flavor; can be replaced with powdered berry-flavored drink mixes.

Equipment

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Prepare Parchment Squares: Cut 18 squares of parchment paper, each measuring 4"x4".
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine water, whole milk, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Bring to a rolling boil.
  3. Form Choux Dough: Remove from heat and stir in bread flour until a cohesive dough forms.
  4. Beat in Eggs: Cool dough slightly and mix in the eggs one at a time until smooth and glossy.
  5. Pipe the Crullers: Transfer dough to piping bag and pipe onto parchment squares in 2-3 inch circular shapes.
  6. Heat Oil: Heat oil to 370°F (188°C) in a deep fryer or heavy skillet.
  7. Fry the Crullers: Drop the piped dough into hot oil, cooking 2-3 minutes per side until golden.
  8. Drain the Crullers: Use a slotted spoon to remove them to a plate lined with paper towels.
  9. Make the Strawberry Glaze: Mix powdered sugar, milk, and pureed strawberries until smooth.
  10. Glaze and Serve: Dip cooled crullers into the glaze and let set before serving.
