Churro Dough

Sugar Coating

Method

Churro Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a medium saucepan, combine the water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted.

  2. 2

    Add Flour

    Once the mixture is boiling, add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

  3. 3

    Cool the Dough

    Remove from heat and let the dough cool for about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Eggs

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until the dough is smooth and glossy.

Frying the Churros

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 6

    Pipe the Dough

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

  3. 7

    Fry Until Golden

    Fry the churros until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Coating the Churros

  1. 8

    Mix Sugar and Cinnamon

    In a shallow dish, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.

  2. 9

    Coat Churros

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