  1. Boil the water, butter, 1 tablespoon sugar and salt in a pan. Tip in the flour and beat over the heat for 2 minutes until the paste leaves the sides.

  2. Cool for 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time until glossy.

  3. Heat the oil to 175°C / 345°F. Drop in teaspoons of paste, 5 at a time, and fry for 5 minutes, turning, until deep gold.

  4. Drain on kitchen paper and roll in the 60 g sugar.

  5. Make a hole in each with a skewer and pipe in the custard.
