i like the french ones best! In NY, there are 2 basic crullers, a long cruller is a cake like (read: dense, leaden, soggy with grease) and french crullers.. made from a pate a chou-- (cream puff dough) they are light, and airy, and have a very crunch crust!... and they are always lightly glaced, Not the same as KK, but pretty damn good!an they are formed with a pastry tube, and have deep ridged edges..so there is lots of crust!

In Mexico, they have churros. They sound much like the deep-ridged crullers of troy described. They are also rolled in cinnamon sugar and accompanied by frothy hot chocolate.[wiping the slobber off the keyboard-e]

The only thing I know as a cruller is a light, glazed, donut-like object shaped like a tractor tire. This sounds somewhat like your French cruller, helen - is that a good description of the shape? (I always called them tractor tires when I was little because I couldn't for the life of me remember the name. We used to have this weekly family pilgrimage to Tim Hortons* after church, and my Dad liked the crullers.)
OK, here's a word-related question: my husband's favourite donut (and I mean favourite - last week they appeared to be out and he sent the little worker-fellow searching for more "in the back") is a Boston cream. It's got custard injected, instead of jam (yuck! I hate them!), and chocolate icing on top. To all: do you guys know this kind of donut? Is it called a Boston cream? Do people in Boston eat it, or did they invent it? Or is it just a misleading name, like French fries?
*Canadian donut/doughnut chain, usually just referred to as Tim's, named after an NHL player, has the best coffee and we can't figure out why the taste is so different from other places, everyone east of Manitoba walks around in the mornings with a Tim's cup in hand

The few Scots on this board (and jmh, of course) will be salivating when I mention the word fudgies. They are very like what you have described here, Bean, but absolutely delicious. Substitute fudge for the custard....... Yum!

Is "intromission" a kinky form of dunking?

... and I remember serving them (and eating them!) in my Dad's transport café in the late 1950sD'oh!I clearly haven't lived. Well, not in wild, crazy, cosmopolitan Maidstone, anyway..  But it's still true that "bun" doughnuts came first in the UK, yes?
