Ingredients
  

For the Choux Paste
  • 1 cup water Essential for moisture; don’t skip this ingredient!
  • 1/2 cup butter Adds richness; swap with margarine for a lighter version.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Provides structure; gluten-free flour can be used as a substitute.
  • 4 large eggs Crucial for leavening; use flax eggs for a vegan choice.
For the Rum Glaze
  • 1/4 cup dark, amber, or spiced rum Infuses warmth into the glaze; replace with milk and rum extract for non-alcoholic option.
  • 2 cups powdered sugar Sweetens and coats the crullers; coconut sugar works for a less processed alternative.
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Offers a cozy spice; allspice or pumpkin pie spice can be used in its place.
  • a pinch nutmeg Complements the cinnamon for a spiced flavor; feel free to omit if unavailable.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Hot Buttered Rum Glazed Crullers
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup of butter over medium heat until boiling. Stir in 1 cup of all-purpose flour until the dough forms a smooth ball.
  2. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition to achieve a glossy, smooth consistency.
  3. Preheat oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C) and pipe the choux paste onto parchment in 3-inch spirals.
  4. Fry the crullers until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Combine 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1/4 cup of rum, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg in a mixing bowl until smooth.
  6. Dip the tops of the warm crullers into the glaze, allowing excess to drip off and place on a wire rack.
