Heavenly Baked Crullers with Cherry Glaze

Adapted from Marcy Goldman's A Passion For Baking, this takes the often deep-fried French Cruller doughnut and bakes it before dunking it in a beautiful pink glaze. You can substitute shortening for the butter if you wish. Using "bread" or "strong" flour is very very important here... the gluten needs to develop fully to trap the air pockets inside.

How Do I Make Heavenly Baked Crullers with Cherry Glaze?

Here is how you make Heavenly Baked Crullers with Cherry Glaze:

Preheat oven to 400F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silpat. Do not grease.Sift flour and nutmeg together onto a sheet of parchment or wax paper, set aside.Add vanilla to eggs but do not break the yolks. Set aside.In a large saucepan, stir water, sugar, and salt together over medium heat. Stir in butter and allow it to melt, stirring occasionally. Increase heat, and bring mixture to a rolling boil. Stir in flour mixture all at once. Beat with a *wooden* spoon until mixture forms a ball that leaves the sides of pan. Beat vigorously 1 to 2 minutes before removing from burner and turning out into a standing mixer bowl with the paddle attachment. Beat mixture 5-7 minutes on low speed, until the bottom of the bowl is touchable.Add eggs and vanilla, 1 at a time, until mixture is smooth and glossy. Spoon choux paste into a large pastry bag fitted with a medium-large star tip (such as Ateco #6). Leaving some space between each, make 4" rings of batter with another circle directly on top.You can spoon the paste into rings on the parchment if you don't have a pastry bag. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven to 375F and bake a further 15 to 20 minutes or until light in texture and medium brown all over. Cool.For glaze, combine all ingredients with a whisk until a fairly thick yet drippable consistency forms. Add more water as necessary.Dip cooled crullers completely into glaze, and allow to set completely on a wire rack set above a cookie sheet or a piece of parchment.
