| Double the reipe for family game day. |
|
| Ingredients: |
1 cup water
1/2 stick unsalted butter, diced into small cubes
1 Tbsp granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup all-purpose flour (scoop and level to measure)
1 large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Vegetable oil, for frying
|
For coating
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
|
|
| Procedures: |
For the coating whisk together 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish, set aside.
Heat about 1 1/2 inches vegetable oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium-high heat to 360 degrees Fahrenheit. While oil is heating prepare batter.
Add water, butter, sugar and salt to a large saucepan, bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add flour reduce heat to medium-low and cook and stir constantly with a rubber spatula until mixture comes together and is smooth (a few lumps in it are fine).
Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl, let cool 5 minutes.
Add vanilla and egg to flour mixture then blend immediately with an electric mixer. Blend until mixture comes together and is smooth (it will separate at first but keep mixing it will come together).
Take a baseball-sized amount of dough, roll it out on the counter and cut into 1/2"-wide strips.
Let fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to dry briefly then transfer to cinnamon sugar mixture and roll to coat.
Repeat process with remaining dough (frying no more than 5 at once).
Can be served warm with chocolate ganache or caramel sauce for dipping, if desired. (We don't.)

| Notes: |
2022-09-17: A double batch for the September SKDL birthday party. We rolled to 1 cm thick and cut to 1 cm wide, and about 4” long.
2021-11-28: We attempted another batch, but the dough was unusable. In retrospect, we believe the flour wasn’t cooked in the butter mixture. We restarted and made a good single batch.
2021-11-13: Another batch for game day at SKDL. We tried using parchment paper, but that didn’t work, at all. A little cooking spray helped the process.
2021-09-18: Bigger is not always better. We made a double batch for the SKDL birthday party and the larger ones were not quite crisp on the inside.
2021-05-07: Added to our cookbook.
