Churro Dough

Method

Churro Preparation

1

Make the Churro 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 dough forms. Allow to cool slightly before adding eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated.

2

Heat the Oil

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

3

Pipe the Churros

Transfer the churro dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Once the oil is hot, pipe strips of dough into the oil, cutting them to your desired length with scissors.

4

Fry the Churros

Fry the churros in batches, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5

Coat with Sugar and Cinnamon

In a shallow dish, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon. While the churros are still warm, roll them in the sugar mixture until fully coated.
