- 1 cup water
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Add flour and stir vigorously until the mixture forms a ball, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
Add eggs, one at a time, to the dough, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C). In a shallow dish, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
Spoon the churro dough into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Carefully pipe strips of dough into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, turning once. Use caution as the oil is very hot.
Remove churros with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. While still warm, roll the churros in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated. Serve warm and enjoy!
