crullers

Fried twisted doughnuts

Crullers are twisted, ring-shaped doughnuts with a ridged surface, lighter and more delicate than standard doughnuts.

The traditional cruller is made from choux pastry, giving it an airy interior and crisp exterior, though the term sometimes applies to any twisted fried dough.

I'll take two crullers and a coffee.
