Pineapple glazed crullers

Ingredients: 1 cup cream; ½ tspn baking soda; ¼ tspn cream of tartar; 1/8 tspn nutmeg; ¼ teaspoon salt; 1 egg; ½ cup sugar; 125g butter at room temp, cut into pieces; 3 cups flour; 3 cups oil for frying

Method: In a deep frying pan heat oil, it should reach 325°F/180°C before you start frying your first batch.

In small bowl combine cream, baking soda, nutmeg, salt, and cream of tartar and set aside.

In a kitchen aid fixed with the paddle attachment cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat until combined.

Turn off mixer and switch your paddle attachment to the dough hook attachment.

Add flour a cup at a time and alternate with cream mixture until all is combined.

Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until soft. If dough is too wet add a bit more flour.

Using a piping bag and star nozzle squeeze the dough onto squares of grease proof paper in a donut shape, turning the piping bag as you go to create a twist.

Drop them into the hot oil sliding them off the grease proof paper squares and fry until golden brown (this doesn’t take long)

Using a slotted spoon remove the crullers from the oil and place onto paper towel to drain and cool.

Glaze:

1 cup icing sugar; pineapple juice

In a medium size bowl using a whisk combine icing sugar with pineapple juice a little at a time until you make a smooth, not too thick, glaze. When the crullers have cooled drizzle with glaze.

Makes 12. Best eaten the day they’re made.
