"French crullers are made in a round shape with a cream-puff batter, fried in deep fat, and have a thin icing." - Helen Jolly Combine sugar, salt, shortening, and boiling water in a saucepan. Mix, and bring to a rapid boil. Add flour all at once, and mix and cook until thickened, stirring constanyly.

Remove from heat. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Add vanilla.

Force mixture through a pastry tube onto greased paper, forming circles. Heat deep fat to 375`F. on frying thermometer. Carefully turn paper upside down so crullers will drop into fat. Fry until golden brown. Spread with thin Confectioners' Sugar Frosting.

Makes about 1 dozen.

2 T hot milk, cream, or water

¼ t vanilla extract

Put hot milk into a small bowl; add salt and vanilla. Gradually beat in sugar, or enough sugar to make frosting of spreading consistency.
