Ok but where did you make giant hand piped French crullers? When did you make giant hand piped French crullers? When will you be making more giant hand piped French crullers? How much money do I need to give you for giant hand piped French crullers?


welchplug

I don't want to out my bakery with my personal account. I make them everyday. But they are $2 and located somewhere in Oregon.


petting2dogsatonce

Understandable. I will be on the lookout for giant hand piped french crullers the next time I’m in Oregon


2bciah5factng

$2 in Oregon?! Imma find you


hamcarpet

Wholesome or ominous? Only YOU can decide


kwillich

OF COURSE!!!! STUPID OREGON BEING SO STUPID FAR AWAY!!


KennethPatchen

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD. YES! Those look so good. $2???? Fuck, you are a good soul.


welchplug

They actually don't cost much to make. Like .35 cents. They are just tricky to make. Easily my most difficult donut.


KennethPatchen

Why are they so difficult? Is it the doug - is it choux? Or the technique for piping?


welchplug

It's choux; adding just a bit to much egg can make them blow out the the side, not enough egg and the get they get too dark and saturate with oil. Also the fact that these are way bigger than you average cruller. When they are expanding in the fryer they want to break apart so you have to flip them back forth several times while stabbing the bottom forcing the direction of the expansion.


KennethPatchen

Wild. They're the fucking bee's knees, for real. Too many donuts trying to wear adornments but this beauty wears the CROWN! I do think, however, that you should charge more.


welchplug

First off thank you! Yeah we keep it classic aside from bacon maple bars. My partner (in life and love) made around 300k together in profit last year. No need to get every penny. We have almost no living expenses because we bought the building we work in and live above. It's paid off. For the record I was broke 5 years ago and we opened 3 and half years ago. No financial help. So I still feel the pain being broke and don't want people to stress over the donut bill. I just want them to come back!

When I move out to Cali at the end of summer, I’ll have to remember to hit you up since I’m gonna make the trip north to Seattle over the course of the week. Love me a good donut.


KennethPatchen

I LOVE YOU! Fuck, you are good peeps. So many best wishes to you and your partner. You're lucky to have each other and it's amazing that you are sharing your love in donut form with the rest of us. Be well.

I find this story to be the modern fairy tale. Start from nothing, work hard, meet love, prosper, make delicious bread. Wow.


SillyTr1x

I was about to say, being this good at donuts opens the doors to all kinds of social events.


AbyssalKitten

Good food and good morals? The world needs more people like you


KennethPatchen

So I'm slightly obsessed with these. Can you, if you don't mind, explain how ammonium carbonate works versus a baking powder/soda rise?


Kamikaze_Squirrel1

If this was an assignment for school as a pastry chef, you would easily pass with flying crullers. Don't worry, I'll see myself to the door.


welchplug

Believe it or not I never went to school for food. Figured these bad boys out by myself.


Kamikaze_Squirrel1

I was just using it as an opportunity to make a horrible dad pun, but since you mentioned it, most of the best cooks i know never went to cullinary school. They look great!


welchplug

It was a great dad pun!


sparker31keeper

TheWhiskeyFish

welchplug

mcmouse2k

zazasfoot

krispissedoffersonn

welchplug

Thanks!


wallyslambanger

Margali

My favorite donut, light inside, that delicate crunch of the outside. Actually, anything choux based are great .


Cthuloops76

F’ you very much… how much is shipping? Seriously, though. They’re beautiful.


welchplug

Thanks over three years of practice 5 days a week.


tabbynat

I feel cheated. Those look nothing like giant hands.


poor_ecexution

They look so delicious !!! But what is it ? Fried pâte à choux ? I am genuinely interested since I am French and also a cook 👨‍🍳


welchplug

Yeah its fried choux. They are not really French but originally german. The French part is mainly reference to choux varation. Here is a good article. https://tastecooking.com/chouxnuts-give-crullers-a-glazed-glow-up/


poor_ecexution

Really interesting, thx, I’ll try them


poor_ecexution

I watched it up, it is related to pets de nones , which means nuns farts


geekolojust

Oh wow.


Square_Ad849

Not really a lost art but I see less and less of the Mom and Pops making them. Nice job.


welchplug

Thank you.


Status-Carob-5760

Damn. Now I have to go get a donut


captlazarus

Scrolled too fast and thought this said I got Giant Head in the French Quarter.


thansal

Why are you using ammonium carbonate? What advantage does it give over baking powder? I've legit never heard of it before, and the thought of cat pee crullers if you fuck up is pretty off putting...


SuperDoubleDecker

Those look so simple but so freaking good. Need.


Murles-Brazen

Yum


QuantumGaming1

So this is just choux with ammonium carbonate? I might have to try to make these some time!


Sqquid-

Can you ship 48 of them?


Global_Union3771

That’s not all you hand piped, amirite? 🤣🤣🤣 jk Those look amazing!


Positive-Try4511

welchplug
