Orange Glazed Crullers image

You could really tell these were homemade,lol. Not by taste, they tasted awesome. But they untwisted. Some during rising, just wouldn't re-twist, some while frying. I like a bit stronger orange flavor in my baking so I added just a dash of extract to the glaze. They were a real hit with Hubby's work crew, & him. I really hope...
