Okay, this cruller.
OMG!
I'll just say this recipe is dreamy and it's going to be the next Hanukkah hit at my house.
Delicious donuts made of pâte à choux dough, which makes it super fluffy and delicate.
What is pâte à choux dough? A type of "cooked dough". Most of the ingredients are being cooked on the stove, on a low/medium heat. it causes the starch in the flour to gelatinize, and it will help the pastry hold and puff up.
After the batter cooled down a little bit, you add the eggs into it gradually while whisking.
It creates a paste-like textured dough.
With this method you can make a variety of pastries, such as eclairs and churros.
It's way less complicated than it looks! And it's so so good.
