From Videojug:

Step 1: You will need

160 ml water
45 g butter, cubed
a pinch of salt
120 g flour
3 eggs
1 tbsp pastry cream, original recipe of the Videojug website
1 tbsp sugar
500 ml vegetable oil
icing sugar for dusting

2 saucepans
1 wooden spoon
1 slotted spoon
1 tray covered with kitchen paper
1 bowl
1 spoon
2 teaspoons

Step 2: Make the dough

Into a saucepan put the water, butter, sugar, and salt.

Bring it to a boil for about half a minute then add the flour, stirring immediately for the mixture to thicken.

When it has thickened, take it off the heat.
Step 5: Add the eggs

Break each egg individually into the saucepan and gently stir them into the flour mixture until thoroughly combined and smooth.
Step 6: Add the pastry cream

As this is optional, if you want to add the pasty cream, now is the time. Spoon the pastry cream into the dough and mix in thoroughly then transfer it to a bowl.
Step 7: Fry the beignets

Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium temperature.

When heated, take a rounded teaspoonful of the batter and drop it into the oil. Add about 6 at a time and move them around with a slotted spoon. Fry for a few minutes.

When the beignets are golden brown, crispy, and have expanded, remove and place them onto a tray covered with kitchen paper to drain off excess oil.

Continue repeating the same process until all the dough is used up.
Step 11: Serve

Dust the beignets with icing sugar and serve straight away. These make an indulgent but delicious snack for any time of the day.
