Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Parchment Squares: Cut parchment paper into 18 squares, each measuring 4” x 4”. Lay these squares on a baking tray.
  2. Cook the Choux Pastry: In a saucepan, combine water, whole milk, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil.
  3. Add the Flour: Remove saucepan from heat, stir in bread flour, mix vigorously until dough forms a thick ball.
  4. Incorporate the Eggs: Allow dough to cool slightly, then add eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated.
  5. Pipe the Crullers: Fill a piping bag with choux pastry. Pipe ring shapes onto parchment squares.
  6. Heat the Oil: Heat vegetable or canola oil in a deep fryer to 370°F (188°C).
  7. Fry the Crullers: Lower parchment with crullers into hot oil, fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  8. Cool and Glaze: Transfer fried crullers to a wire rack to cool. Blend strawberries, powdered sugar, and milk for glaze, then dip cooled crullers.
  9. Add Final Touches: Sprinkle with strawberry sugar or freeze-dried strawberries.
