Homemade Beignets Recipe

For some reason I posted about by Beignets and never posted the recipe, very unusal for me. So here is the recipe!
Combine in Med saucepan and bring to a steady boil the following:
1/2 cup water,
4 Tbs Butter,
1 tbs sugar,
1/2 tsp salt.
Add all at once 1/2 cup flour.
Stir vigorously over med. heat until mixture comes together and takes a shine. Continue cooking 2 minutes. When removed from heat flour will form on bottom of pan. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Add one at a time beating on med. speed 2/3 minutes scraping bowl 4 large eggs. The mixture should be smooth and shiny and fold over on itself in a ribbon when the beater is lifted.
Beat in 2 tsp vanilla. Immediately drop the dough, a scant tablespoon at a time into fryer at 365 degrees. Fry 4 or 5 beignets at a time until puffed and golden on both sides.
Drain on paper towel and dust with powdered sugar.
