Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

In a medium saucepan, combine
1 cup water, the butter, brown
sugar and salt over medium-high
heat until it just begins to boil.
Using a wooden spoon, stir in the
flour until incorporated; remove
from the heat. Stir for a minute,
then beat in the eggs, 1 at a time,
until the dough is glossy and
smooth. Stir in the orange peel.

Fill a large saucepan with enough
oil to reach a depth of 1 inch;
heat until a deep-fry thermometer
registers 350°. Working in batches
of 10, drop in rounded teaspoonfuls
of the dough and cook, turning,
until golden, about 5 minutes
per batch; using a slotted spoon,
transfer to paper towels to drain.

In a brown paper bag, combine
the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
Working in 4 to 5 batches, add the
fritters and shake to coat.
