Churro Dough

Prepare the Dough
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine water, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture comes to a boil.

Add Flour
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately add all-purpose flour. Stir vigorously until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

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

Pipe the Dough

Fry Until Golden
Fry the churros until they are golden brown, about 2-4 minutes per side. Remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
