Churros Recipe

Boil Water Mixture

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.

Add Flour

Once the mixture is boiling, remove it from heat and stir in 1 cup of all-purpose flour until the mixture forms a ball. Let it cool for a few minutes.

Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla

Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cooled dough. Mix well until the dough is smooth and well combined.

Mix Sugar and Cinnamon

In a shallow bowl, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Heat Oil

In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat 4 cups of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).

Pipe Churros

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe strips of dough, about 4-6 inches long, directly into the hot oil.

Fry Until Golden

Fry the churros for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Coat in Sugar

While the churros are still warm, roll them in the sugar-cinnamon mixture until fully coated.
