Churro Dough

Method

Preparing the Churros

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in flour until a ball forms.

  2. 2

    Add Eggs

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

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Pipe the Churros

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

  5. 5

    Fry Until Golden

    Fry churros for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Coat in Sugar

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

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately with chocolate sauce or dulce de leche for dipping.
