1
Make the Dough
In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in flour until a dough forms. Let cool slightly.
2
Add Eggs
Once the dough is cool enough to handle, add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
3
Heat Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
4
Pipe the Churros
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Carefully pipe 4-6 inch strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting with scissors.
5
Fry the Churros
Fry the churros until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6
Coat with Sugar
In a bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. Roll the warm churros in the sugar mixture until coated.
