How to Make Wind Fritters

In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil along with the butter and salt. Once it boils, remove it from the heat - it is important not to leave it too long to prevent the butter from burning.

Add the flour all at once and mix well until a dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan. This may take a couple of minutes and I usually use a wooden spoon.

Let the batter cool a bit before adding the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. This step is crucial to getting the fritters fluffy and soft - you don't want to rush here.

Heat the oil in a deep frying pan. When it is hot, scoop out portions of the batter with a spoon and fry the fritters until golden brown. This is a procedure that requires patience, you don't want the oil to be too hot or the fritters could burn on the outside and be raw on the inside.

Once browned, remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a plate with paper towels to drain the excess fat.

Finally, sprinkle the fritters with powdered sugar and serve.
