Churro Batter

Method

Preparation

  1. 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 the mixture forms a ball.

  2. 2

    Incorporate Eggs

    Allow the dough to cool for a few minutes, then beat in eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. The dough should be smooth and shiny.

  3. 3

    Prepare for Frying

    Fill a deep skillet or pot with oil and heat to 375°F (190°C).

  4. 4

    Pipe the Churros

    Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe 4-6 inch strips of dough directly into the hot oil, cutting with scissors.

  5. 5

    Fry Until Golden

    Fry churros for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Coat with Cinnamon Sugar

    In a shallow bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. Roll the hot churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve warm, optionally with chocolate sauce for dipping.
