Make it happen

  1. 01

    Bring water, butter and first sugar to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir vigorously until a ball forms; cool 5 minutes.

  2. 02

    Beat egg and vanilla into dough until smooth. Fill a sturdy piping bag with a star nozzle. Mix coating sugar and cinnamon.

  3. 03

    Heat oil to 175°C in a deep, heavy pan no more than half full. Pipe 8 cm strips carefully into the oil, snipping with scissors; fry in batches 3–4 minutes until golden and cooked through.

  4. 04

    Drain briefly and roll in cinnamon sugar. For dip, heat cream until steaming and pour over chocolate; stir smooth and serve warm.
