Ingredients

Instructions

  • Combine water, butter, salt, and ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon in medium size saucepan over medium heat. Bring to rolling boil.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Add flour and stir vigorously until mixture forms a ball of dough. Remove from heat and let cool for 5-7 min.
  • Add eggs to the dough, one at a time, and stir until fully combined. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in medium skillet or 1-quart saucepan over medium-high heat or until temperature reaches 350˚.
  • Spoon the dough into a piping bag fitted with large star tip. Pipe 1-inch strip of dough over saucepan, cut with knife, and drop into hot oil. Repeat until churro bites fill saucepan with room to fry.
  • Fry churros until golden brown. Remove with slotted spoon or mesh strainer and place churro bites on paper towel.
  • Mix sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon in medium bowl. Toss in churro bites until coated. Place on serving plate and serve with favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Churros are best enjoyed immediately. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 1-2 days.
