1 c. water
1/4 c. butter
1 tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. all-purpose flour
2 eggs

Bring water, butter, sugar, and salt to boiling. Add flour all at once, stirring vigorously. Cook and stir with a wooden spoon until mixture forms a ball that doesn't separate. Remove from heat and cool for 10 minute.

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition with the wooden spoon until smooth.

Spoon dough into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe the dough into strips 3 inches long and 3/4 inch wide onto a waxed paper lined baking sheet. Freeze strips about 20 minutes or until they can be pulled off waxed paper. (Do not remove any strips from freezer until you're ready to fry them.)

In a heavy 3-quart saucepan fry dough strips, a few at a time, in deep hot oil (375 degrees) for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels. Roll in sugar while warm. Makes 24.
