1
Prepare the dough
In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat, add flour and salt, and stir until a dough forms.
2
Incorporate eggs
Allow the dough to cool slightly, then add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated and the dough is smooth.
3
Heat the oil
In a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
4
Pipe the churros
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Carefully pipe strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting them to your desired length.
5
Fry until golden
Fry the churros until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6
Coat in cinnamon sugar
In a bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Roll the fried churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture while they are still warm.
7
Serve
Serve the churros warm with chocolate sauce or dipping sauce of your choice.
