Churros Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a medium saucepan, combine water, sugar, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and stir in flour until a dough forms. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes.

2. 2

   Incorporate Eggs

   Once the dough has cooled slightly, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until fully combined.

3. 3

   Heat Oil

   In a deep pot or fryer, heat oil to 375°F (190°C).

4. 4

   Pipe and Fry

   Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Carefully pipe 4-6 inch strips of dough into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Coat with Cinnamon Sugar

   In a shallow bowl, mix together granulated sugar and cinnamon. Roll the fried churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture while they are still warm.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the churros warm with chocolate sauce or caramel for dipping, if desired.
