* Note: See the ?Red Wine Star Anise Dessert Sauce? recipe which is included in this collection. Add the butter and water to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove pan from heat and, with a wooden spoon, beat in flour all at once to form a smooth paste. Beat lemon juice, zest and vanilla and then beat in eggs one at a time. Be sure to thoroughly incorporate each egg before adding the next. Heat 1/2-inch of oil in a deep skillet or wok to 360 degrees. Working in batches, drop rounded tablespoons of dough into the oil and fry until golden-brown about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Be careful not to crowd fritters. Drain on paper towels and keep warm in a 225 degree oven for up to 20 minutes. Place a shallow pool of warm Red Wine Star Anise Dessert Sauce in individual serving bowls. Place 3 or 4 fritters on top. Scatter sliced berries attractively around and dust with powdered sugar. Serve immediately. This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings. Comments: This is a simple recipe. The sauce can be prepared days ahead of time and reheated. The fritters however should be prepared at the last minute.
