Ingredients
For 25 fried choux pastries
- 125 ml (1/2 cup) water
- 120 ml (1/2 cup) milk
- 100 g (3 1/2 oz.) butter
- a pinch of salt
- 150 g (5 oz.) flour
- 3 eggs
Method
- Put the water, milk, butter and salt into a saucepan. Bring to a boil.
- Remove from the heat and mix in the flour with a wooden spoon, then beat in the eggs, one at a time.
- Let cool for 1 hour.
- Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 175° C (350° F). Using a teaspoon, scoop out small balls of the batter and drop them into the hot oil. Fry for 3 minutes until nicely golden brown.
- Remove with a skimmer and drain on paper towel. Serve hot, sprinkled with icing sugar or granulated sugar.
Tip: These fritters puff up a lot when fried. Cook them in several batches.
