Step one:
In a saucepan, combine the butter, water, and sugar. Bring to the boil, stirring until the butter has melted.

Step two:
Add the flour and beat well until the mixture forms a smooth ball that leaves the sides of the pan clean.

Step three:

Remove from the heat and stir in the grated cheddar. Beat in the eggs one at a time until you have a smooth paste. Season well.

Step four:

Heat the oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Test the temperature by dropping in a small piece of dough. It should sizzle and rise to the surface.

Step five:
Using two spoons, drop small spoonful’s of the dough into the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 5 mins, turning occasionally, until golden and puffed.

Step six:

Drain on kitchen paper and serve immediately with extra finely grated cheese on top.
