Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 2.5 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 quarts oil for frying
• 0.5 cup white sugar, or to taste

1. Gather all ingredients.
2. Combine water, 2 ½ tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil then remove from heat.
3. Stir in flour, stirring constantly, until mixture forms a ball.
4. Heat 2 quarts oil in a deep fryer or deep pot to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Transfer dough to a sturdy pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip.
