Method
Dough Preparation

Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the butter melts and the mixture begins to boil.

Add Flour
Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the all-purpose flour until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Cool Down
Let the dough cool for about 5 minutes. This will help you to avoid cooking the eggs when you add them.

Incorporate Eggs
Add the eggs one at a time to the dough, stirring vigorously after each addition until fully incorporated and smooth.
Frying

Heat Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the temperature.

Pipe Dough
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 6-inch long strips of dough directly into the hot oil, cutting the ends with scissors.

Fry Churros
Fry the churros for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Make sure not to overcrowd the pot.
