FUNNEL CAKES

1 cup water
8 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons sugar
pinch salt
1 1/4 cup flour
4 eggs
2 yolks
Vegetable oil, for frying

Boil water, butter, sugar, and salt together in a saucepan. Add flour and work it in until it is all incorporated and dough forms a ball. Transfer mixture to a bowl and beat eggs in, 1 at a time, completely blending each egg before adding another. Dough should be smooth. Heat about 1 1/2 inches of oil in a heavy pan. Spoon dough into a pastry bag with a round tip and pipe dough into oil. Fry until golden, make sure you turn it. Remove cake from oil, drain.
