These Earl Grey Crullers are a delightful twist on the classic donut, infused with the fragrant flavor of Earl Grey tea both in the dough and the glaze. Perfect for tea lovers!
Ingredients: 2 Earl Grey tea bags. 1 cup milk. 1/2 cup unsalted butter. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. 1 cup all-purpose flour. 4 large eggs. Vegetable oil for frying. 1 cup powdered sugar. 2 tablespoons brewed Earl Grey tea. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Instructions: In a saucepan, heat the milk until it's warm but not boiling. After taking the saucepan off of the burner, steep the tea bags for five to seven minutes. Tea bags should be taken out and thrown away. Put the milk back on a low simmer and stir in the butter, salt, and powdered sugar. Once the butter has melted and the mixture is thoroughly mixed, stir. When the mixture forms a dough and starts to pull away from the pan's sides, add the all-purpose flour to the saucepan and stir constantly over low heat for about two minutes. After transferring the dough to a mixing bowl, allow it to cool for a short while. One by one, add the eggs, beating thoroughly after each addition, until the batter is glossy and smooth. In a deep pot or fryer, bring vegetable oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit 175 degrees Celsius. Pipe dough rings into the heated oil using a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown, flipping them as necessary to ensure even cooking. Using a slotted spoon, remove the crullers from the oil and set them on a tray covered with paper towels to drain any remaining oil. To make the glaze, combine the vanilla extract, brewed Earl Grey tea, and powdered sugar in a bowl. After dipping each cruller into the glaze and letting any excess drip off, arrange them to cool on a wire rack. After the glaze has set, serve the Earl Grey Crullers with Earl Grey Glaze. Have fun!
