Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup butter
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup sugar
- ¾ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ cups vegetable oil for frying
- chocolate sauce for dipping, optional
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the water first.
- Next, add the butter.
- Follow with the salt and ¼ tsp of ground cinnamon. Bring to boil, stir, and reduce to low heat.
- Add the flour.
- Stir until the mixture forms a large ball.
- Remove from the heat and set aside—allow the dough to rest for about 10 minutes. The dough MUST BE COOL so the eggs don't scramble when added.
- When the dough as cooled sufficiently, add the eggs.
- Add one egg at a time, mixing until fully combined.
- Fill a piping bag with the churro dough and set aside. You may have to work in batches, depending on the size of your piping bag.
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar and ½ tsp of cinnamon in a small and set it aside. This is to coat the churros after frying them.
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. As soon as the oil reaches 350°F, start to fry your churros. I recommend pipping the dough directly into the frying oil, cutting with a knife every few inches to get perfect churro strips. Fry the churros until golden brown on all sides, which will take about 1–2 minutes.
- Place the churros on a clean paper towel to drain off the excess oil for a few minutes. Sprinkle or dip the churros with the cinnamon sugar mixture and serve!
