My mother made "crullers" (pronounced kruller) when we were kids. Not the same thing I think. They were cake like donuts with cinnemon sugar coating. They were sort of squiggle shaped. I think with heavy enough batter to just squeeze it between your fingers for fun worm like shapes. We loved them. I don't know if it was a passed down recipe or if she read them in a cookbook. Possibly the former. Our family was along the Delaware since colonial times. We also used left over pie dough to make little cinnemon sugar and butter cookies by rolling up the dough with the later ingredients inside. Well you can't go wrong with butter, flour and sugar a dear old lady friend once said. But thought I'd point out that crullers or krullers are slightly different.
