A honey cruller donut from Tim Hortons, a popular Canadian fast food restaurant and donut shop.
A traditional cruller (or twister) is a fried pastry often made from a rectangle of dough, with a cut made in the middle that allows it to be pulled over and through itself producing twists in the sides of the pastry. Crullers have been described as resembling "a small, braided torpedo"[1] and having been "a staple of the New England diet since the Pilgrims' day".[1] Some other cruller styles are made of a denser dough somewhat like that of a cake doughnut formed in a small loaf or stick shape, but not always twisted.[2] Crullers may be topped with plain powdered sugar; powdered sugar mixed with cinnamon; or icing. However, a "French cruller" is a fluted, ring-shaped doughnut made from choux pastry with a light airy texture. The French cruller in German is called a Spritzkuchen. Crullers are most commonly found in Canada, New England and the Mid-Atlantic and North Central states of the United States, but are also common in California. *** Tim Hortons Inc.
