Claire Saffitz Makes Perfect Cinnamon Sugar Crullers (Lightest Doughnut Ever?)

Claire Saffitz makes Cinnamon Sugar Crullers, the lightest, crispiest doughnuts you can make at home using pâte à choux. If you’ve ever debated cake vs yeast doughnuts, these French crullers offer something better: an airy, webbed interior with a delicate crisp exterior.

In this Dessert Person episode, Claire walks through how to make pâte à choux doughnuts from scratch, including how to properly mix the dough, pipe crullers, and fry them to golden perfection. The key is balance. Too much egg and the dough collapses, too little and it won’t puff. Get it right and you’ll have bakery-quality cinnamon sugar crullers at home.

Whether you’re searching for the best homemade doughnuts, learning pâte à choux techniques, or chasing the perfect French cruller recipe, this episode delivers.
