Churro Ingredients
Method
Churro Directions
- 1
Prepare the 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 the flour until well combined. Let the mixture cool slightly, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a deep-fry thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the right temperature.

Pipe the Churros
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Carefully pipe 4 to 6-inch strips of dough directly into the hot oil, cutting them with scissors as you go.

Fry the Churros
