Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oil in a deep-fryer or heavy stock pot to 400°F
  2. To make the pastry, heat the butter and water together in a saucepan until the butter has melted, then bring to a rolling boil. Add the flour all at once. Immediately take the pan off the heat and beat vigorously, until the mixture forms a ball and leaves the sides of the pan. A sturdy wooden spoon works best.
  3. Gradually add the beaten eggs, beating well between each addition, until they are well mixed into the dough; add the Cheddar cheese, shallot, and seasonings.
  4. Carefully slide teaspoonfuls of the choux pastry into the hot oil and deep-fry for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. Drain thoroughly on paper towels and serve hot.
  6. NOTE: Make sure your frying oil is hot enough. If it is not hot enough, you will end of with greasy greasy food! First thing you learn about frying food as a Southerner. Start your oil hot and keep it hot! :).
