french cruller

Ridged fried pastry

A french cruller is a ring-shaped pastry made from choux dough, lighter and airier than traditional cake doughnuts.

Its distinctive ridged, twisted surface comes from piping the dough before frying.

The texture is delicate and slightly eggy, often finished with a thin glaze: I'll take a french cruller and a coffee.
