Human In The Mirror: Pets de Nonne (Nun's Farts)

Yes, the french have some weird names for some of their cakes. But don't let it fool you! It's delicious (just as the rest of the recipes) and it's very easy to do! It's just a sort of small beignet.

What you need to make them:

10min to prepare
20min to fry

a big pot
a whip
a spoon
a deep fryer or just a big pan

300g (2.5 cups_ flour
175g (7/8 cups) sugar
20cl (4ts) water
10cl (2ts) Grand Marnier (or orange blossom/flower water http://mideastfood.about.com/od/glossary/g/orangeblossom.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_flower_water if you don't know what it is)

4 eggs
125g (1/2 cup) butter
a pinch of salt
0.5l (2 cups+5 ts) of vegetable oil
honey or maple syrup (optional)

On to the recipe:

In the pot, mix butter, water, salt and 125g (5/8 cup) sugar.
Put on the heating plates and mix well until it boils.
When it boils, remove the pot from the plates and dump the flour all at once
Put it back on to the plates at mild intensity while keeping on whipping. You should get a fairly thick batter that sticks a lot, but by heating it it becomes easier to mix.
Add the eggs one by one while keeping on whipping.

In the pan/deep fryer, pour the oil and heat it. The oil should NOT boil.
In the pot, which should still be on mild heat, pour the Grand Marnier, and mix.
Grab a spoonful of the batter and throw it in the hot oil. If it starts bubbling around that means your oil is hot enough. Make a few other spoonfuls and throw them in the oil.
Leave each spoonful in the oil for about 2-3min until they become golden.
Remove each spoonful from the oil and lay it to cool down on a paper towel to absorb the extra oil.
Repeat until you are out of batter.
