Steps

Pour the milk, butter, sugar, and salt into a saucepan.
When it starts to boil, add the flour all at once and mix the dough.
Cook for about 2 minutes, until the mixture forms a ball and detaches from the sides of the pot.
Transfer the dough to the bowl of a stand mixer and with the whisk, run the machine at low speed to cool the mixture.
Add one egg at a time, adding the next only when the previous one has been absorbed.
Heat the peanut oil to 320°F.
Using two teaspoons, form small balls and drop them into the oil.
Once the fritters are golden and well puffed, remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon.
Drain on absorbent paper until completely cooled.
