Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil the Mixture

    In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

  2. 2

    Add Flour

    Once the mixture is boiling, remove it from heat and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Eggs

    Let the dough cool for about 5 minutes. Then, add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and shiny.

Coating Preparation

  1. 4

    Mix Sugar and Cinnamon

    In a shallow dish, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside for coating the churros later.

Frying

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of dough in; it should sizzle and rise to the top.

  2. 6

    Pipe the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Once the oil is hot, carefully pipe strips of dough into the oil, about 4-6 inches long. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding.

  3. 7

    Fry the Churros

    Fry the churros for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.

  4. 8

    Coat the Churros

    Immediately roll the hot churros in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until they are fully coated.
