Churros Ingredients

Method

Churros Directions

  1. 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. Let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Add Eggs

    Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated and the dough is smooth.

  3. 3

    Heat Oil

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Pipe the Churros

    Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Carefully pipe long strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting them to your desired length.

  5. 5

    Fry the Churros

    Fry the churros until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Coat with Sugar

    While still warm, roll the churros in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon until evenly coated.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the churros warm with house-made dulce de leche for dipping.
