1
Place the water, butter, sugar and salt in a pan and bring to the boil, making sure the butter is completely melted.

For this step you'll need:
- 150ml Water
- 60ml Butter (unsalted)
- 2tsp White caster sugar
- pinch Salt
2
Add the flour and stir in with a wooden spoon – it is important to cook the flour fully so don’t hurry this process. The dough should come away easily from the side of the pan.

For this step you'll need:
- 100g Strong white bread flour
3
Place the dough in a food mixer and, while beating, add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition. Add egg until the mixture is suitable for deep frying – if it’s too wet you won’t be able to use it. Cover the bowl with clingfilm and leave to rest in the fridge for 1–2 hours.

For this step you'll need:
- 3 Egg(s) (free range) whisked
4
Pour the oil into a deep, wide heavy-based pan and heat it until it reaches 170°C/338°F. Have ready a baking tray or plate covered with kitchen paper.

For this step you'll need:
- 500ml Vegetable oil for deep frying
5

Deep-fry dessert spoonfuls of the dough until golden brown, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on the kitchen paper. Cook the rest of the dough in batches.
6
Serve the Sonhos warm, lightly dusted with some icing sugar.

For this step you'll need:
- Icing sugar to dust
