Churro Ingredients

Method

Churro Preparation

  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. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the flour until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Add eggs

    Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil

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

  4. 4

    Pipe the churros

    Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting them to your desired length.

  5. 5

    Fry the churros

    Fry the churros in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Coat with sugar

    In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Roll the warm churros in the mixture to coat.
