1
Make the Dough
In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
2
Add Flour
Once boiling, remove from heat and quickly stir in the flour until the mixture forms a ball.
3
Incorporate Eggs
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth.

4
Mix Cinnamon Sugar
In a shallow bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside for coating the churros later.

5
Heat the Oil
In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
6
Pipe the Dough
Using a piping bag fitted with a star tip, pipe strips of dough (about 6 inches long) into the hot oil.
7
Fry Churros
Fry the churros until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Do not overcrowd the pot.
8
Drain and Coat
Remove the churros from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
