Ingredients
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)
1–2 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.
