-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 recipe Basic Pate a Choux
Oil for deep frying:
4 Inches Neutral Flavored Vegetable Oil In
Large Heavy Pot
1/2 Cup white sugar
3 Tablespoons cinnamon

Load dough into pastry bag fitted with medium star tip. Heat oil to 375
degrees. Sift together cinnamon and sugar. Holding pastry bag above hot oil,
gently squeeze bag and slice off 1-inch sections of paste with paring knife.
Pipe out only as many fritters as will fit comfortably in the oil. When
fritters are golden, after 23 minutes, flip them over to cook the other
side. Lift out of oil with slotted spoon and drain on layers of paper
towels. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture while still warm.
Yield: enough for a party
The cinnamon sugar topping on these fritters is reminiscent of that used on
Latin American beignets such as churros.
