Ingredients:

  • 1 cup bread flour *this is important
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar , sifted
  • 5 tbsp maraschino cherry juice
  • 2 tsp canola oil
  • water , as required

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silpat. Do not grease.
  2. Sift flour and nutmeg together onto a sheet of parchment or wax paper, set aside.
  3. Add vanilla to eggs but do not break the yolks. Set aside.
  4. In a large saucepan, stir water, sugar, and salt together over medium heat.
  5. Stir in butter and allow it to melt, stirring occasionally.
  6. Increase heat, and bring mixture to a rolling boil.
  7. Stir in flour mixture all at once.
  8. Beat with a *wooden* spoon until mixture forms a ball that leaves the sides of pan. Beat vigorously 1 to 2 minutes before removing from burner and turning out into a standing mixer bowl with the paddle attachment.
  9. Beat mixture 5-7 minutes on low speed, until the bottom of the bowl is touchable.
  10. Add eggs and vanilla, 1 at a time, until mixture is smooth and glossy.
  11. Spoon choux paste into a large pastry bag fitted with a medium-large star tip (such as Ateco #6). Leaving some space between each, make 4 rings of batter with another circle directly on top.
  12. You can spoon the paste into rings on the parchment if you don't have a pastry bag.
  13. Bake 15 minutes.
  14. Reduce oven to 375F and bake a further 15 to 20 minutes or until light in texture and medium brown all over.
  15. Cool.
  16. For glaze, combine all ingredients with a whisk until a fairly thick yet drippable consistency forms. Add more water as necessary.
  17. Dip cooled crullers completely into glaze, and allow to set completely on a wire rack set above a cookie sheet or a piece of parchment.
