- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the water and milk and add the sugar and salt. Take the butter (you can use margarine instead) out of the refrigerator ahead of time so it's soft, and add it to the pan too. Stir everything well with a spoon. Set the pan over low heat and bring the milk-and-butter mixture to a smooth, uniform consistency. Carefully pour in the flour, stirring constantly with a spoon, and work it into a smooth choux pastry. The choux is ready as soon as it stops sticking to the sides of the pan and pulls together into a single ball. Beat the choux for a couple of minutes on low speed with a mixer fitted with dough beaters. Then crack one egg into the pan and beat it in. Add the next egg and beat again on low speed. Continue beating in the eggs one at a time. You should end up with a smooth, elastic, soft choux pastry. Pour vegetable oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or pan, enough to cover the doughnuts completely (the amount depends on their size). Heat the oil over medium heat. Using two spoons, shape balls of choux pastry and fry them in the hot oil until golden brown. To keep the dough from sticking to the spoons and make shaping easier, you can dip the spoons in oil now and then. Line a wide plate or tray with a couple of layers of paper towel and set the fried doughnuts on it to drain off the excess oil. Pour some sugar onto a plate and roll the doughnuts in it. Serve the finished choux doughnuts with tea, coffee, cocoa, or milk. Enjoy!
