Glazed Blueberry Crullers

I have a history with crullers.  More specifically, I have a history with Glazed Blueberry Crullers.  For a short period after undergrad, I worked at a bank.  It wasn’t the greatest job by any means.  In fact, I kinda hated that job.  But that job did involve donuts.  And if it was a really lucky day, then that job involved glazed blueberry crullers.

You see, one of our regular customers would often show up with a box of mixed donuts for us.  There were always one or two blueberry crullers in there, and we all descended on that box like hungry sharks.  And that’s where the luck came in.  Sometimes I managed to emerge from the fray with a glazed blueberry cruller in hand.  And then I was happy…until the cruller was gone.
