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.
