Churro Dough

Cinnamon Sugar

Method

Churro Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil Water Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Add Flour

    Once the water mixture is boiling, remove it from heat and stir in 1 cup of all-purpose flour until a dough forms. Let it cool for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Eggs

    Add 2 large 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 2 cups of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Cinnamon Sugar Mixture

  1. 5

    Mix Sugar and Cinnamon

    In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Frying Churros

  1. 6

    Pipe the Dough

    Transfer the churro dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Once the oil is hot, carefully pipe 4-6 inch strips of dough directly into the hot oil.

  2. 7

    Fry Churros

    Fry the churros in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 8

    Drain and Coat

    Remove the churros from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel. While they are still hot, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
