Ingredients: FOR THE CRULLERS:; 1/2 cups Butter; 1 cup Water; 1 cup All-purpose Flour; 1/2 teaspoons Salt; 4 whole Eggs; Vegetable Oil, For Frying; FOR THE GLAZE:; 2 cups Powdered Sugar; 2 Tablespoons Milk; 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract; 1/4 teaspoons Lemon Extract (optional)

Servings: persons

FOR THE CRULLERS:
1/2 cups Butter
1 cup Water
1 cup All-purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoons Salt
4 whole Eggs
Vegetable Oil, For Frying
FOR THE GLAZE:
2 cups Powdered Sugar
2 Tablespoons Milk
1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1/4 teaspoons Lemon Extract (optional)

1
Bring butter and water to boil in a small pot. Once mixture comes to boil, stir in flour and salt until combined. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool for 3 minutes.
2
Crack eggs into a small bowl. Mix eggs into the warm mixture little by little until completely combined and batter is completely smooth. Transfer batter to a piping bag with a large fluted tip and pipe into circles on parchment paper lined baking sheets. If you have a hard time piping the mixture, remove batter from the bag and stir in another egg. It should be easy to pipe at that point.
3
Place the tray of crullers into the freezer for 30 minutes. Pour vegetable oil into a large pot with high sides so there's at least 3 inches of grease. Heat oil to be between 325-350 F.
4
While oil is heating, stir all ingredients together for the glaze until smooth and runny, but not too runny! It should be slightly runnier than school glue. Set aside.
5
Drop frozen crullers one by one into the hot oil and fry about 1 minute per side or until lightly golden. Remove the finished crullers onto a paper towel to drain and then immediately coat in glaze. Place them on a cooling rack to let excess glaze drip off. Repeat with the remaining crullers.
6
After 40 minutes or so, the glaze should harden onto the crullers. But these are really best served warm, immediately out of the glaze.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
