Golden fried choux bites rolled in cinnamon sugar with a chocolate dip — the fairground favorite made at home.

Ingredients

• 60 g All-Purpose Flour
• 25 g Butter
• 120 ml Water
• 1 egg Eggs
• 30 g Caster Sugar
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 200 ml Sunflower Oil
• 1 pinch Salt

Method

1. Cook the choux base

   

   In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the water, butter and a pinch of salt to a boil, then dump in the flour all at once and stir hard with a wooden spoon until it forms a smooth ball that pulls away from the sides of the pot.

2. Beat in the egg

   

   Let the dough cool for a few minutes, then beat in the egg until the dough is glossy and pipeable.

3. Heat the oil

   

   Heat the oil in a deep pot to about 175°C — a scrap of dough should sizzle and float straight away.

4. Pipe and fry

   

   Pipe short lengths of dough into the oil, snipping them off with scissors, and fry in batches until puffed and deep golden.

5. Roll in cinnamon sugar

   

   Lift the bites out and drain briefly on kitchen paper, then roll them, still hot, in the cinnamon sugar until coated all over.

6. Serve warm

   

   Serve immediately with warm chocolate sauce for dipping.
