Ingredients
1 cup water
3/4 stick butter (6 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
1 cup eggs, about 4 large eggs and 2 whites
Vegetable oil, for frying
Powdered sugar, for topping
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Boil water, butter, sugar, and salt. Add flour and work
until all it is incorporated and dough forms a ball.
Transfer mixture into bowl of a standing mixer and let cool
for 3 to 4 minutes. With mixer on stir or lowest speed add
eggs, 1 at a time, making sure the first egg is completely
incorporated before continuing. Once all eggs have been
added and mixture is smooth put dough into a piping bag
fitted with a number 12 tip. Heat about 1 1/2 inches of oil
in a pan. Pipe dough into oil, making a free-form lattice
pattern and cook until brown flipping once. Remove cake from
oil, drain on paper towels, top with powdered sugar and
continue until all of the batter is used.
