1. 1

   In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the boiling water, butter, salt, sugar, and orange rind.

2. 2

   Bring to a boil.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, sift together the flour and baking powder.

4. 4

   Add the dry ingredients all at once to the hot mixture, beating hard with a wooden spoon over medium heat until the mixture forms a compact mass and leaves the sides of the pan.

5. 5

   Remove from the heat and let cool for 1 minute.

6. 6

   Add the eggs, one at a time, beating hard after each addition; the mixture should be smooth, glossy, and thick.

7. 7

   Heat the oil (which should be 2-1/2 to 3 inches deep) almost to the smoking point, then drop the batter by tablespoons into the oil, without crowding, to form puffs.

8. 8

   When the puffs surface, turn them to fry on all sides, using tongs, then lift them out, drain off excess oil on absorbent paper.

9. 9

   Place on warm platter and keep warm.

10. 10

    If using the syrup, boil the syrup ingedients for 5 minutes; spoon the syrup, or warm honey, over the puffs, sprinkle with cinnamon, and serve hot.
