Ingredients
  

For the Choux Pastry

  • 2 tablespoons whole milk (for glaze) for drizzle consistency

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare parchment by cutting 18 squares, each measuring 4"x4".
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1 cup of whole milk, ½ cup of unsalted butter, ¼ cup of granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a rolling boil.
  3. Once boiling, add 1 cup of bread flour all at once, stirring until it forms a smooth paste that pulls away from the sides, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Let choux pastry cool for about 5 minutes, then mix in 4 large eggs one at a time until smooth and elastic.
  5. Pipe rings of dough onto prepared parchment squares, aiming for about 3 inches in diameter.
  6. Heat oil to 370°F. Gently place the piped dough into the hot oil, frying each for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  7. Drain the crullers on a wire rack, allow to cool, then dip each in the strawberry glaze.
