cruller
Sign in to saveA cruller () is a deep-fried pastry popular in parts of Europe and North America. In Europe, the distinct shape is typically formed in one of two ways: a string of dough folded over and twisted twice; or a rectangle of dough with a cut in the center, pulled over and through itself. In North America, it is typically a form of cake doughnut made in a small loaf or simple stick shape or, in the case of the "French cruller", extruded in a ring from choux pastry.

A cruller () is a deep-fried pastry popular in parts of Europe and North America. In Europe, the distinct shape is typically formed in one of two ways: a string of dough folded over and twisted twice; or a rectangle of dough with a cut in the center, pulled over and through itself.

Crullers are typically topped with cinnamon sugar, dipped in plain icing, or served plain.
