  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 20 bites

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spritz with olive oil spray.
  2. In a saucepan, combine water, butter, and vanilla; bring to a boil.
  3. Add flour all at once, stirring vigorously until a dough forms and pulls away from sides of the pan.
  4. Transfer dough to a mixing bowl and let cool for 5 minutes.
  5. Beat in eggs one at a time until smooth and glossy.
  6. Spoon dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
  7. Pipe small bite-sized pieces onto the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy.
  9. In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Toss baked bites in the cinnamon sugar mixture while still warm.
  10. Serve warm with chocolate sauce or caramel for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure the dough is cool enough before adding eggs to prevent curdling.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon sugar mixture.
