Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Serving Size: 4–6 people
Ingredients:
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Oil for frying
- Sugar and cinnamon for topping
Instructions:
1. In a saucepan, bring the water, sugar, salt, and butter to a boil.
2. Add the all-purpose flour all at once and stir vigorously until a dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
3. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the dough cool slightly.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Heat oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F (180°C).
