These fried cream puffs are made from a thick honey-colored batter consisting of flour, milk, eggs and "yellow oil".  While the dough looks lumpy, it puffs up during frying to make a wonderfully light  and airy  breakfast treat.   These fried cream puffs have no filling, but are topped with coarse sugar.  The secret for making a light dough is to beat in the oil drop-by-drop.
