Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water and 2 tbsp butter. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low and stir in 1 cup flour until a dough forms, about 1 minute.

    Remove from heat and beat in 1 egg until smooth. Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.

  3. 3

    Drain on paper towels, then toss in a mixture of 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Serve with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle.
