Ingredients

• ½ cup water
• 50 grams butter
• ½ cup flour
• 2 eggs, beaten

Chocolate sauce

• 1 cup water
• 175 grams quality dark chocolate, roughly chopped
• good pinch cinnamon
• dash orange oil or grated rind of ½ orange
• ½ cup condensed milk

Method

1. Bring the water and butter slowly to the boil. Once boiling, remove from the heat and add the flour. Beat to a paste. Return to the heat and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring until the mixture forms a ball that cleanly leaves the sides of the pan.
2. Beat in the egg, a little at a time, until the mixture is thick and glossy.
3. Fill a piping bag with the mixture and shallow or deep-fry 10cm lengths of dough in hot oil until they are well-puffed and golden. Carefully lift from oil, drain on absorbent paper and dust with icing sugar. Serve with chocolate sauce on the side for dipping.

Chocolate sauce

1. Stir ingredients together in a heavy-based saucepan over a low heat until chocolate has melted and sauce is smooth. Remove from heat. Serve warm or at room temperature.
