Add 1 cup of water to a saucepan.

Add 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter cut into cubes to the saucepan.

Turn the stove on to medium heat and let the butter melt while stirring.

Once the butter is melted, add 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and a pinch of salt.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and stir to incorporate.

Wait for the water to come to a boil, then add 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour.

Reduce heat to low and stir the flour into the mixture until it pulls away from the edges and forms a ball, about 1 minute.

Turn off the heat and let the dough cool in the saucepan for about 10 minutes.

Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and add 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing on low to medium speed after each addition.

Mix for an additional 45 seconds until the dough is soft and sticky.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to approximately 350°F.

Prepare a bowl with 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for coating.

Using two tablespoons, dip them in oil to prevent sticking, and scoop portions of dough into the hot oil.

Fry the dough in batches, turning occasionally until golden brown.

Remove the fried dough and place it on a baking tray lined with paper towels.

Roll the hot sonjus in the sugar and cinnamon mixture while still warm.
