Ingredients

flour 150 g

water 250 g

eggs L 4 Units

butter 50 g

salt 5 g

sugar for coating 50 g

Oil for frying 1 Units

Directions

1.Prepare the dough

Prepare the dough for the wind fritters. In a saucepan over the heat, heat the water along with the butter and salt. When it starts to boil, add all the flour at once. Stir with the spatula until you obtain a very thick dough and remove from the heat. Let it rest for 5 minutes.

2.Add the eggs

Add an egg and mix with the wooden spatula until the dough thickens again. At first, you will have a loose dough, but little by little it will bind and thicken again. Add the second egg and repeat successively until all four eggs have been added.

3.Cook

Cook the fritters. Heat the oil in a frying pan and take a portion of dough with a spoon. With the help of another spoon, drop the dough into the pan and form a few fritters. Don't crowd the pan. As they fry, the fritters will turn over without help. You will see that they open and hollow out, it is normal. When they are golden brown, remove them to a plate with absorbent paper and, before they cool, roll them in sugar. If they cool, the sugar will not stick.
