# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium saucepan, combine water, milk, butter, sugar, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the flour. Continue stirring until the dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
03 -
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the dough cool slightly. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
04 -
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe rings of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
05 -
Heat oil in a large pot to 375°F (190°C). Fry the crullers in batches, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on a wire rack lined with paper towels.
06 -
To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, strawberry puree, and milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk if needed.
07 -
Dip the cooled crullers into the glaze, coating them evenly. Sprinkle with strawberry sugar (if using) and let them set on a wire rack before serving.
