Instructions to make Glazed Honey Crullers

Make the Choux Pastry
For the choux pastry, start by boiling water, butter, sugar, and salt in a pot. Once boiled, remove the pot from heat and add flour. Cook this mixture on the stove until it becomes a shiny paste, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes. After that, transfer the paste to a different bowl and add eggs one by one, making sure to mix well after each egg.

Prepare the Donuts
To shape the donuts, cut 10cm squares of parchment paper. Use a piping bag with a star tip to pipe the donut shapes onto these squares.

Frying Time
For frying, fill a saucepan with vegetable oil, like canola oil, and heat it to 350F. Put the donut in the hot oil, placing it paper side up. As the paper starts to detach, peel it off. Fry each side of the donut for 4 to 5 minutes until they turn golden, then move them to a cooling rack.

Make the Glaze
For the glaze, mix all the ingredients together

Pour The Glaze
Pour this mixture over the donuts and let the glaze set.

Enjoy
Once it's set, it's time to enjoy your crullers. Store the rest in an airtight container.
Hint: Be patient when adding eggs to the choux pastry. Mix each egg fully before adding the next. This makes your crullers puff up right.
Substitutions
- For a dairy-free option, use almond milk.
Variations
- Add cinnamon to the glaze for a spicy twist.
- Drizzle with chocolate for extra sweetness.
Equipment

Storage
