Ingredients

• 240 ml Water
• 85 g Non-dairy butter
• 15 g Granulated sugar
• 1 tsp Salt
• 125 g All-purpose flour
• 3 units Large eggs
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 liter Vegetable oil
• 100 g Powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp Non-dairy milk

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the water, non-dairy butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture comes to a rolling boil.

Step 2

Remove the saucepan from heat and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a dough and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Step 3

Return the saucepan to the stove on low heat. Cook the dough, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes to dry it out slightly.

Step 4

Transfer the warm dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.

Step 6

Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 7

Transfer the choux pastry dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.

Step 8

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pipe rings, each about 3 inches in diameter, leaving a little space between each ring.

Step 9

In a large heavy-duty pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

Step 10

Carefully slide the parchment paper with the rings into the hot oil. Fry the crullers, two or three at a time, until puffed and golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Step 11

Use a slotted spoon to remove the crullers from the oil and drain them on paper towels.

Step 12

To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and non-dairy milk in a medium bowl until smooth.

Step 13

Dip the top of each cruller into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off, and set them on a wire rack to allow the glaze to set.

Step 14

Serve the crullers warm or at room temperature.
