Ingredients

Scale

¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter

1 cup water

1 Tbsp granulated sugar

Pinch of salt

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

Vegetable oil, for frying (enough for 1½–2″ depth)

½ cup granulated sugar (for coating)

12 tsp ground cinnamon (for coating)


Instructions

Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot to 360°F.

In a saucepan, bring butter, water, 1 Tbsp sugar, and salt to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in flour until dough forms.

Let dough cool for 5 mins. Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth.

Pipe 1 to 1½ pieces of dough into hot oil. Fry 1–2 minutes, turning to brown evenly.

Drain briefly on paper towels, then toss warm bites in cinnamon-sugar coating.

Serve immediately for best texture.
