Churro Recipe

Churro Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in flour until the mixture forms a ball. Allow to cool slightly.

2. 2

   Add Eggs

   Once the dough is cool enough to handle, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.

3. 3

   Heat the Oil

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

4. 4

   Pipe the Dough

   Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe strips of dough (about 4-6 inches long) directly into the hot oil.

5. 5

   Fry the Churros

   Fry the churros until golden brown, about 2-4 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

6. 6

   Coat in Sugar and Cinnamon

   In a shallow bowl, mix 1 cup of granulated sugar with 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Roll the fried churros in the sugar mixture until fully coated.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve warm with chocolate sauce or dulce de leche for dipping, if desired.
