Report
Crispy-on-the-outside, chewy-on-the-inside Homemade Churros are made with just a few simple ingredients and fried until golden-brown, then rolled in cinnamon and sugar for a crunchy sweet exterior. Also known as Mexican donuts, this easy recipe for homemade churros are even better than the ones you get at Disneyland!

Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup salted butter cubed
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- oil for frying
Cinnamon-Sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Bring water, butter, sugar, cinnamon, and salt to a rolling boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour the flour all at once and stir until it comes together in a clump.
- Remove from heat and add the eggs, one at a time. You can do this by hand with a wooden spoon, or transfer the dough to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat them in using the paddle attachment. The dough will separate at first, but then come back together as the eggs are mixed in.
- Transfer the dough to a large pastry bag fitted with a rounded or closed star tip like an Ateco 849 (or try the Wilton 2D, Ateco 845, or Ateco 846). Combine sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish and set aside.
- Heat about 2" of oil in a large pan to between 350° and 375°F. Pipe 6-inch lengths of dough into hot oil, using scissors to cut off each length of dough for a clean end. Work in batches and don't crowd the pan to prevent the oil temperature from dropping too much.
- Cook the churros for about 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove the churros from the oil using tongs and drain on a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towel for 10 seconds, then roll the still-hot churros in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat. Serve hot with or without a dipping sauce!
