How to make Strawberry Glazed Crullers (Overview)

Making these crullers is a breeze! Start by bringing water, butter, and salt to a boil. Once that’s bubbling away, throw in the flour, stir until it comes together, and then mix in those eggs for a silky texture. Fry them up and dip in the fruity glaze.

Pro tip: Let your dough cool a bit before adding eggs — it makes for a fluffier cruller!

How to store Strawberry Glazed Crullers

Store any leftovers (if they last that long!) in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you want to keep them longer, pop them in the fridge for about a week. Reheat in the microwave for about 10 seconds to regain that fresh-out-of-the-fryer taste.

Tips to make Strawberry Glazed Crullers

Don’t overheat the oil: Too hot and they’ll burn; too cool and they’ll soak up grease. Aim for 350°F (175°C).
Try different flavors: Experiment with lemon or raspberry in the glaze if you’re feeling adventurous!
Use a kitchen thermometer: It’s a game changer for frying — trust me!

Feeling creative? Swap out the strawberry puree for blueberry, peach, or even chocolate for a delightful twist. You can even pipe in a bit of custard or cream cheese filling before frying for a hidden surprise!
