This pets de nonne, or nun’s farts, recipe is a classic dessert in France. A light-as-air choux puff is deep fried and then served warm, dusted with confectioners’ sugar. Karlyn passed this great recipe to me.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs
oil for deep frying
3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter in the water. Add salt and flour, and stir until a sticky batter is formed. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until the batter is smooth.
2. Heat the oil to 375F. Fry mounded teaspoons of dough, several at a time, for about 6 minutes. They are done when they are light, golden brown on each side. Drain them for a few minutes on a clean kitchen towel and serve warm, dusted with the confectioners’ sugar.
3. This pets de nonne recipe makes 28 to 32 fritters.
