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 flour until the mixture forms a ball. Allow to cool slightly.
2
Add Eggs
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.
3
Heat Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
4
Pipe the Churros
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe strips of dough directly into the hot oil, cutting with scissors to desired length.
5
Fry the Churros
Fry churros until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6
Coat with Sugar and Cinnamon
Mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl. Roll the hot churros in the mixture to coat evenly.
7
Serve
Serve churros warm with chocolate sauce or dulce de leche for dipping.
