1. 1

   Pour the water into a small, heavy saucepan, and add the butter, granu- lated sugar, and salt.

2. 2

   Bring to a rolling boil, at which time the butter should be melted.

3. 3

   Add the flour all at once.

4. 4

   Lower the heat, and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for a minute or two, until the mixture comes away from the sides of the pan.

5. 5

   Remove the pan from the heat, and beat in the eggs, one at a time, incorporating each egg thoroughly before adding the next.

6. 6

   Continue beating until thick and smooth.

7. 7

   Allow the mixture to cool while heating the oil.

8. 8

   Pour enough vegtable oil in a large skillet so that it is at least 1 inch deep.

9. 9

   Heat to 360 degrees.

10. 10

    Drop the mixture by heaping teaspoonfuls into the hot oil, frying only a few beignets at one time so that they are not crowded.

11. 11

    Fry for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until they are crusty and a dark golden brown, turning occasionally with a spoon so that they color evenly.
