Pets de nonne

These small fritters are like mini doughnuts: they're simply made with choux pastry dough, then tossed in a little sugar.

[Translator's note: their amusing French name literally means "nun's farts". So, maybe we'll leave it French...].

Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 30 min.

Prepare 400 g Choux pastry (pâte à choux).

Stage 2 - 3 min.

Transfer the dough to a forcing bag. If you don't have one, use a plastic bag and cut off one corner.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Heat the oil 320°F (160°C).

Press on the forcing bag and squeeze out the dough to the size of a walnut, then cut this off with a knife.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

When the dough falls into the hot oil it will sink to the bottom at first, then rise back up to the top.

Stage 5

Turn the pets de nonne so that they brown evenly.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Remove them from the oil with a skimmer and place on absorbant paper.

Sprinkle a little sugar on top and they're ready.

Remarks

It its important to keep the oil temperature relatively low. If it is too hot, the outside browns rapidly, leaving the inside uncooked.
