1
Prepare the Dough
In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir in flour until mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2
Add Eggs
Beat in eggs one at a time until smooth and well combined.
3
Heat Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
4
Fry Churros
Transfer the dough to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe 4-6 inch strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting them with scissors. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5
Coat with Sugar and Cinnamon
In a bowl, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. While churros are still warm, roll them in the sugar-cinnamon mixture until fully coated.
