Etymology

The word 'crueller' originates from the Dutch word 'kruller', which refers to a type of pastry that is curly or coiled. The term evolved as the Dutch settlers brought their culinary traditions to America. In the late 19th century, cruellers became popular in various parts of the United States, particularly in New England. They are often made with enriched dough that contains milk, eggs, and sugar, contributing to their rich flavor and soft texture. Over the years, the crueller has become a beloved treat in many bakeries and cafes, often enjoyed with coffee or tea. The shape and preparation of cruellers can vary, with some versions being lighter and airier than traditional doughnuts, making them a unique addition to the world of fried pastries.
