cruller

Ridged fried ring

A cruller is a small fried pastry, typically made from a twisted or ring-shaped strip of sweetened dough.

The surface is often ridged from the twisting, and the pastry may be glazed or dusted with sugar.

Crullers are lighter and more cake-like than doughnuts, with a tender, slightly crisp exterior: She picked up a cruller and a coffee at the bakery.
