I love how light these look! Also it’s amazing that they’re made at home! Wouldn’t have guessed yet. Yum! 💕 I love the hack of dipping the wooden spoon! Thanks Gemma!
I love watching your recipes because it’s the little details like putting the wooden spoon in oil to check it that I learn that would never learn in school or anywhere else and also the recipes are so practical sometimes other recipes over complicate things 😂😍
I just love French crullers.They haven't made them at my local grocery store since covid.I was so happy to see this recipe.I just found your channel and have subscribed.I can't wait to try and make them.
Welcome! I have been following Gemma for years now, and even though I am 67, and have always been a pretty good cook, I have both of her cookbooks and depend on her for lots of things!😉
Very nice recipie Gemma! They looks amazing! I think the look like churros but with different sape! Have a nice day and good weekend! Have a good week! 👍👏🍴
These look wonderful!! I love the recipes on your website, and I think, turning them into videos, helps the visibility, especially for people who may be more shy in the kitchen. I was definitely way more shy about baking before I found your channel and your website!
A Candy thermometer clipped to side of ur pot/pan is actually better for newcomers , you can get ur oil to perfect temperature which should be anywhere between 325 ° F. to 350 ° F. So u can adjust it to exactly the way u like ur Brown Color & speed of frying to be...🍩🍩🥯🥯👍👍👍👍
That'sa perfectly good reason to give both recipes a go. Check them out here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/homemade-beignets/ www.biggerbolderbaking.com/homemade-french-cruller-donuts/ Hope you enjoy these!
Happy birthday to your daughter, Natalie. I hope you'll give this a go. Get the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/homemade-french-cruller-donuts/ And yes, go for that ube glaze.
Hello! You can find the measurements on the recipe link in the description box and on BiggerBolderBaking.com. I don’t include measurements in my video as units change internationally and I’d like to avoid any confusion or exclusion. Plus, my website offers a better experience for reading recipes and has additional tips from other Bold Bakers. Here you go! www.biggerbolderbaking.com/homemade-french-cruller-donuts/ 😊
I’ve made cream puffs with a similar choux pastry, and they were amazing. They didn’t last long either. I’ll definitely try this recipe. I did panic about the paper being added to the oil. Only for a split second. I reminded myself you always know what you’re doing before you said anything in the video.
I’m not sure how that will turn out as it will change the consistency of the batter. It might break apart when fried. I would say, makes these as it is, to get that perfect texture and structure, then dip in strawberry glaze.
Could you please open a bakery! ‘Gemma’s bakery’ and I will visit!! Thankyou for the wooden spoon tip. I didn’t know that. I was taught to avoid smoking hot oil
It's not an option for me at the moment, as getting these content online takes up time already. A bakery is not just about having a place to bake and sell what I share here, it requires a serious commitment to put up and maintain one. Maybe someday, I will. But for now, you can make all these goodies in the comfort of your home.
My grandmother used to put a match into the oil to check the temperature. When the match caught fire, the oil was hot enough. But you have to use the old-style matches with the white phosphorous head. The new matches don't work.
@@biggerbolderbaking Your wooden spoon method is easier and cheaper. But not as showy. Your method also doesn't risk introducing chemicals into the oil. But who doesn't like a good show?
Technically, you can. Note that flours do not absorb liquids the same way; it may need more or less the amount in the recipe. You may need to adjust the amount of wet ingredients until it reaches the same consistency as shown in the video. Hope this helps.
You can leave it out, but there will be a slight difference in the resulting flavor of the donuts. Check the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/homemade-french-cruller-donuts/
@@biggerbolderbaking I followed you're video Step by step. I even left it in the fridge over night. When I fried them. They came out like a doughnut then a minute later they became soft. The next day they were flat. They were delicious but you couldn't pick it up without it folding
@@biggerbolderbaking thanks for your fast response . Love your style of recipes . I just figured sense you have microwave recipes maybe making some instant pot recipes would be great . I am always trying to invent or change recipes . So it would be great to see more in this trend
I know this is difficult to understand, but people around the world measure in different ways. We have to give cups/metric measurements and imperial measurements. It takes too much out of the flow of the presentation, and really slows it down. We know, we tried it before, and it was just as tricky. We put the link to the recipe right by the video for your convenience. But here you go, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/homemade-french-cruller-donuts/
Crullers are one of my favorite donuts. I love how light and airy they are.
And the flavor is really good. I hope you’ll give it a go. Get the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/homemade-french-cruller-donuts/

Bravissima Gemma💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯❤💋
Looks nice! Mom always said to cool the dough before adding eggs, about 10-15 minutes. I stir by hand with a wood spoon.
Those and buttermilk bars are my absolute favorite donuts! My mom likes the cruller as well! I'm going to have to make these! Yum
Go for it! Here’s the recipe, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/homemade-french-cruller-donuts/

Auf Deutsch, Spritzgebäck. 😊
Lecker ist auch Kameruner Gebäck.
Pronounce it however you will, that is good stuff!
Glad you think so!
Never knew my favorite donut was so easy to make. Thank you 🌸
I hope you’ll give this a go. Get the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/homemade-french-cruller-donuts/
@@biggerbolderbaking , for sure will. Thank you!! 😊
Funnel cakes 🎂😂Thank you❤
I actually have a recipe for one! www.biggerbolderbaking.com/funnel-cake/
👏
These look delicious!! I love me some donuts. I don't care to fry in oil. Can these be fried in an air fryer?
Yes, absolutely. It might not keep its shape that well because of the longer cooking time, but it is technically possible. Hope this helps.
Nice recipe ❤ can i make buns this recipe i like yeast please answer me iam waiting ❤
I haven’t tried it. Shaping it and keeping the shape might be a challenge though.
Wow, these look amazing.... How long does the raw dough last in the fridge.... And can the dough be frozen? 🤔 😊
Hi Jessica. You can make this dough up to 3 days ahead and store it in an airtight container until you are ready to pipe.
Can they be made strawberry by adding strawberry puree to make them strawberry flavored donuts???
I’m not sure how that will turn out as it will change the consistency of the batter. It might break apart when fried. I would say, makes these as it is, to get that perfect texture and structure, then dip in strawberry glaze.
I love it ❤ so delicious and yummy
I hope you’ll give these a go, Jane. Get the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/homemade-french-cruller-donuts/

Try a mochi donut, I want to see your version.
My grandmother used to put a match into the oil to check the temperature. When the match caught fire, the oil was hot enough. But you have to use the old-style matches with the white phosphorous head. The new matches don't work.
Interesting!
@@biggerbolderbaking Your wooden spoon method is easier and cheaper. But not as showy. Your method also doesn't risk introducing chemicals into the oil. But who doesn't like a good show?
Hola! Can you do this with almond milk? Thanks
Yes you can! Do let me know how you get on: www.biggerbolderbaking.com/homemade-french-cruller-donuts/
I wonder what was done to prevent the skin forming before cling/plastic wrap.
A double layer of cloth or tea towel is my guess.
Can these be made with dairy free butter and almond or coconut flour?😊
I don’t recommend it, Marilyn. It might not hold its shape when deep fried. It might work if you bake these.
Help!! I tried to make this and at the end my butter separated from my dough. What did I do wrong?
Hey Gemma! Can I add oil if I don't have butter?
There are recipes for crullers that use oil instead of butter. I have not tried it though, but it is technically possible.
@@biggerbolderbaking okay then should I substitute butter with 1/2 cup of oil?
I want to ask if it's soft or fluffy ?
Light and buttery on the inside, crisp on the outside, would be more apt. I hope you'll give this a go!
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour?
Technically, you can. Note that flours do not absorb liquids the same way; it may need more or less the amount in the recipe. You may need to adjust the amount of wet ingredients until it reaches the same consistency as shown in the video. Hope this helps.
@@biggerbolderbaking Thankyou for your reply.♥️
You & simply momma cooks should get together and cook & bake something ❤
I don't social media & am surprised and a little disappointed you don't make videos on all your recipes. =(
I wish we can have for each but we feel that some recipes are so easy, a written recipe will suffice.
what if you have no lemon zest?
crullers are my favorite!!
You can leave it out, but there will be a slight difference in the resulting flavor of the donuts. Check the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/homemade-french-cruller-donuts/
@@biggerbolderbaking thanks.
Do you have any tips for me cuz when I tried making them it came out soggy
Did you measure according to the written recipe? If you did, perhaps it wasn’t chilled enough before frying.
@@biggerbolderbaking I followed you're video Step by step. I even left it in the fridge over night. When I fried them. They came out like a doughnut then a minute later they became soft. The next day they were flat. They were delicious but you couldn't pick it up without it folding
I would dip these in cinnamon and sugar like I do my churros
Yum!
Can you post recipes using a instant pot
I’ll look into it. Thanks for watching!
@@biggerbolderbaking thanks for your fast response . Love your style of recipes . I just figured sense you have microwave recipes maybe making some instant pot recipes would be great . I am always trying to invent or change recipes . So it would be great to see more in this trend
Obviously, I have to subscribe to her channel or look on TH-cam. It would have been nice if she had given the measurements as she was making this.
I know this is difficult to understand, but people around the world measure in different ways. We have to give cups/metric measurements and imperial measurements. It takes too much out of the flow of the presentation, and really slows it down. We know, we tried it before, and it was just as tricky. We put the link to the recipe right by the video for your convenience. But here you go, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/homemade-french-cruller-donuts/
Im going to get fat if i continue making these recipes 😂
Lol! Glad you enjoyed watching the video.
This is churros.
