Churros Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the Mixture

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.

Step 2: Add Flour

Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat and add 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Step 3: Incorporate Eggs

Allow the dough to cool slightly for about 5 minutes. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.

Step 4: Mix Cinnamon Sugar

In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 5: Heat the Oil

In a deep frying pan, heat 4 cups of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 6: Pipe the Dough

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 4-6 inch long strips of dough directly into the hot oil.

Step 7: Fry the Churros

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

Step 8: Coat in Cinnamon Sugar

While the churros are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
