Directions:
- N a medium saucepan, heat water and butter to a simmer.
- Add flour all at once and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon over low heat until mixture no longer sticks to pan and forms into a ball.
- Remove from heat. Beat eggs in thoroughly, one by one until mixture is smooth. Mix in the cheese and seasonings. Transfer cheese mixture to a mixing bowl.
- Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees. Carefully fry half of the dry parsley sprigs for about 10 to 12 seconds. Transfer to a plate on a paper towel. Repeat with remaining parsley. Season with salt.
- Spoon about 10 teaspoons of the cheese mixture into the oil. Do not crowd as they double in size and self rotate while cooking.
