Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- 1/4 cup Butter
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 count Large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (or Crisco) (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1/2 cup Preserves (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
Instructions
- 1In a deep skillet, bring 1 cup of water and 1/4 cup of butter to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, stir in 1 cup of flour and continue stirring constantly until the dough pulls away from the sides of the skillet, forming a ball. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- 2Remove the dough from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then, break in 3 eggs, one at a time, stirring continuously until each egg is fully incorporated. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and mix well.
- 3Heat about 3 cups of vegetable oil (or Crisco) in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Drop spoonfuls of the dough, about the size of a walnut, into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the fritters and drain them on paper towels.
- 4Make a small opening in each fritter. Fill the openings with preserves and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Serve immediately.
