For Dusting

Method

Churro Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil Water Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Add Flour

    Once the mixture is boiling, remove it from the heat and stir in the all-purpose flour until fully combined. The dough should form a ball.

  3. 3

    Cool Down

    Allow the dough to cool for about 5 minutes, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until smooth.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Pipe the Dough

    Transfer the churro dough into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Once the oil is hot, carefully pipe 6-inch strips of dough into the oil.

  3. 6

    Fry Churros

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

Dusting

  1. 7

    Prepare Sugar Mixture

    In a shallow bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together.

  2. 8

    Dust Churros

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