Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Parchment Squares: Cut 18 squares of parchment paper, each measuring 4 inches by 4 inches. Lightly trace circles on one side for guiding piping.
  2. Make Choux Pastry: In a saucepan, combine water, whole milk, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Boil, then add bread flour and stir until a dough forms.
  3. Cool and Add Eggs: Remove from heat, cool for 10 minutes, then beat in eggs one at a time until smooth and elastic.
  4. Pipe Crullers: Spoon dough into a piping bag and pipe rings on parchment squares, leaving space between crullers.
  5. Heat Oil: Pour oil into a fryer or skillet and heat to 370°F (188°C).
  6. Fry Crullers: Slide piped crullers into hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown, draining on paper towels.
