Orange-Glazed Crullers Recipe

Prep: 25 min. + rising Cook: 20 min. + chilling

Yield: 36 Servings

25 20 45

Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
3/4 cup warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups all-purpose flour
Oil for deep-fat frying
GLAZE:
2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon grated orange peel

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Beat in the milk, butter, eggs, sugar, salt and 2 cups of flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Punch dough down; divide in half. Return one portion to the refrigerator. On a floured surface, roll out second portion into an 18-in. x 9-in. rectangle; cut width-wise into 3/4-in. strips. Fold each strip in half lengthwise and twist several times. Pinch the ends to seal.
Place on greased baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough. Cover and let rise until almost doubled, about 35-45 minutes.
In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry crullers, a few at a time, about 1 minute on each side or until golden brown, turning with a slotted spoon. Drain on paper towels. In a small bowl, combine glaze ingredients; brush over warm crullers. Yield: about 3 dozen.

Bought the Yearly cookbook with this recipe in it, made it and the family and friends loved it, have made it a few times since, will keep making it. I don't make it ahead though, I let it rise on the counter, then roll it out and watch them puff when you fry them.
