Ingredients
4 Servings
- 125 g all-purpose flour
- 50 g granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1 pinch salt
- 60 g unsalted butter
- 500 ml vegetable oil
- 240 ml water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine water, unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Step 2
Remove from heat and add flour all at once. Stir vigorously until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Step 3
Let the dough cool for 5 minutes before adding the eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
Step 5
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip nozzle. Pipe 4-inch strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting off with scissors.
Step 6
Fry the churros until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Step 7
In a shallow dish, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Roll the warm churros in the mixture until well coated.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
