Churros Ingredients

Method

Churros Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Dough

    In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in flour until a dough forms. Let cool slightly before adding eggs one at a time, mixing until smooth.

  2. 2

    Heat Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).

  3. 3

    Pipe Churros

    Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe strips of dough into hot oil, cutting with scissors to desired length. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Coat with Cinnamon Sugar

    Remove churros from oil and drain on paper towels. In a bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. Roll churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture while still warm.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve warm with chocolate sauce or dulce de leche for dipping.
