A '''cruller''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|k|r|ʌ|l|ər}}) is a deep-fried [[pastry]] popular in parts of Europe and North America. In Europe it is typically either made of a string of [[dough]] that is folded over and twisted twice to create its signature shape or is formed from a rectangle of dough with a cut in the center allowing it to be pulled over and through itself to produce distinctive twists in the sides of the pastry. In North America, it is typically a form of cake [[doughnut]] made in a small loaf or simple stick shape or, in the case of the "[[Cruller#French cruller|French cruller]]", extruded in a ring from [[choux pastry]]. 

Crullers are typically topped with [[cinnamon sugar]], dipped in plain [[icing (food)|icing]], or served plain.
