Instructions: Combine butter, boiling water, salt, and flour in a saucepan over moderate heat. Beat mixture vigorously until it leaves sides of pan and forms a ball. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Spoon into a mixer or food processor with a steel blade, and add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. When all eggs have been added and mixture is thick, it should hold its shape when lifted with a spoon.

Heat oil to 375 F. Dip a tablespoon first in hot oil, then in batter.

Carefully drop tablespoonfuls of batter into hot oil and cook until brown on all sides. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Sprinkle with sugar and serve hot.
