1
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
2
Add Flour
Once boiling, remove from heat and quickly stir in the flour until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
3
Incorporate Eggs
Let the dough cool for a few minutes. Then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
4
Prepare for Piping
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.

5
Mix Cinnamon Sugar
In a shallow dish, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.

6
Heat Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
7
Pipe and Fry
Carefully pipe 4-6 inch strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting them off with scissors as you go. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
8
Drain and Coat
Using a slotted spoon, remove the churros from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
