I've heard the Cruller is the only donut made with egg. True?

German Easter connection

Last year I taught my 2nd grade class about various Easter traditions. I had to do a lot of research to find out about them and discovered a book which explained that the cruller originated in Germany (and Dutch is a Germanic language) and was eaten before lent as a way to use up fat, in preparation for fasting during lent. I've also found reference to this on a number of websites including:

http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~maggieoh/Holidays/E/eindex.html (refers to it as a German and Austrian tradition)
http://www.phancypages.com/newsletter/ZNewsletter2599.htm (Austrian tradition)
http://www.indobase.com/holidays/easter/easter-traditions-around-the-world/easter-in-germany.html (German tradition)
http://www.easterbunnys.net/germaneaster.htm (German tradition)
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~homespun/days.html (German and Austrian)
http://usinfo.org/facts/holiday/hd5.htm (German)

I think this should therefore be included in the article Tinkstar1985 14:57, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regional difference? Growing up in Wisconsin, what you picture was called a "French Donut". Crullers were what is pictured here: http://www.gojefferson.com/banner/opinion/foust/cruller/index.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.159.160.51 (talk) 17:17, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, in New England it's definitely the STRAIGHT version.

In fact, the "twisting" isn't even important; if it's ROUND, it's a DONUT; if it's STRAIGHT, it's a CRULLER.

Same as Wisconsin, I guess. Like "bubblers" ;)

The Wizard Of OZ (1939 movie)

In the opening of the 1939 film The Wizard of OZ, after Dorthy falls in the pig pen & Aunt Em comes up, she offers the farm hands crullersItalic text, but they seem more like what we today would call chicken tenders, not whats described here. Does anyone know the difference?
