Measure | Ingredient |
---|---|
1 \N | Stick Unsalted butter |
1 cup | Water |
1 pinch | Salt |
1 cup | Flour; preferably chestnut |
4 \N | Eggs |
\N \N | Vegetable oil; for frying |
1 cup | Honey |
\N \N | Powdered sugar; to dust |
In a 2- to 3-quart saucepan, melt butter in water. Add salt, bring to boil and stir in sifted flour. Cook until the mixture pulls away from heat.
Transfer to a mixing bowl and allow to cool. When cool, beat in eggs one at a time. Heat 3 to 4 inches of oil in a 6-inch deep sauce pan to 375 degrees. Place honey in a small saucepan and heat over low heat. Using 2 tablespoons, form almond-sized balls of dough and drop into hot oil. Fry 3 or 4 at a time (leave space they will double or triple in size) until golden-brown on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Continue until all the balls are done. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, drizzle with honey and serve. This recipe yields 4 servings.
