Churros Recipe

Making the Churros

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a medium saucepan, combine water, sugar, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the flour until a dough forms. Let it cool for a few minutes.

2. 2

   Add Eggs and Vanilla

   Once the dough has cooled slightly, beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.

3. 3

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).

4. 4

   Pipe the Dough

   Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe 4-5 inch long strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting with scissors to release them.

5. 5

   Fry the Churros

   Fry the churros in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Coat in Cinnamon Sugar

   In a shallow bowl, mix granulated sugar with cinnamon. Roll the hot churros in the mixture to coat evenly.
