Method
Churros Preparation
- 1
Make the Dough
Allow the dough to cool slightly for about 5 minutes. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the temperature by dropping a small piece of dough into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
- 3
Pipe the Churros
Transfer the churro dough into a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle. Carefully pipe strips of dough (about 6 inches long) into the hot oil, cutting them with scissors as you go.

Fry the Churros
Fry the churros in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove them using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
