Churros Ingredients

Method

Churros Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add Flour

    Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in flour until the mixture forms a ball. Let cool for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Eggs

    Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).

  5. 5

    Pipe Churros

    Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe 4-6 inch strips directly into the hot oil.

  6. 6

    Fry Until Golden

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

  7. 7

    Coat in Cinnamon Sugar

    In a bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. Roll the hot churros in the mixture until fully coated.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Enjoy the churros warm with chocolate sauce or dulce de leche for dipping.
