Ingredients

3/4 cup water
6 tablespoons butter chopped
1 tablespoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup flour, all-purpose sifted
3 large eggs
Apricot sauce
1 cup apricot preserves
3 teaspoons apricot brandy

Directions

Pour the water into a small, heavy saucepan, and add the butter, granulated sugar, and salt.

Bring to a rolling boil, at which time the butter should be melted.

Add the flour all at once.

Lower the heat, and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for a minute or two, until the mixture comes away from the sides of the pan.

Remove the pan from the heat, and beat in the eggs, one at a time, incorporating each egg thoroughly before adding the next.

Continue beating until thick and smooth.

Allow the mixture to cool while heating the oil.

Heat to 360 degrees. Drop the mixture by heaping teaspoonfuls into the hot oil, frying only a few beignets at one time so that they are not crowded.

Fry for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until they are crusty and a dark golden brown, turning occasionally with a spoon so that they color evenly.

Cinnamon Rolls

This recipe is easy and great tasting. I make up a batch in my bread maker, then prepare the rolls on a cookie sheet(except icing), and stick the pan in the freezer, then bag up in a freezer baggie. I take them out the night before, place on a cookie sheet and let thaw over night, ready to bake in the morning. I make several batches up for last minute breakfasts.
