Cruller Tries

image

I call these “tries” because I haven’t quite mastered the cruller just yet.  Don’t get me wrong, these make a delightful donut, but they are still lacking something in presentation.  Yummy treats, though, so whatever you call them, they are great hot or cold.

Ingredients

3 eggs, beaten

2⁄3 cup sugar

3 tablespoons butter, melted

1⁄4 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon baking soda

3 cups flour

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon cream of tartar

Directions

Heat canola oil to 375°F

Beat eggs, then add sugar and butter.

In whole milk, dissolve the baking soda, then add it to the wet mix.

In a separate bowl, sift together flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cream of tartar.

Add the dry to the wet ingredients in thirds, stirring well.

Roll the dough to 1⁄4 inch thickness and cut out rounds and holes.

Fry 3 to 4 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Drain on paper towels, and then dust with powdered sugar.

Makes 10–12 donuts and holes
