Ingredients

For Churros:
💧 1 cup water
🧈 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
🍚 3 tablespoons sugar
🌾 1 cup all-purpose flour
🥚 2 eggs
🍦 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
🛢️ Vegetable or canola oil (for frying)
For Cinnamon Sugar:
🍚 1 cup sugar
🥄 2 tablespoons cinnamon

Instructions

1- Prepare the Dough:

• In a medium pan, combine 1 cup water, 3 tablespoons sugar, and 6 tablespoons butter. Heat over medium-high heat until it comes to a gentle simmer.
• Once simmering, add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon. Reduce the heat to low, continuing to stir until the mixture forms a ball and begins to pull away from the sides of the pan.

2- Cool and Mix:

• Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl. Allow it to cool for about 10 minutes.
• Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the cooled dough. Using a mixer, beat the mixture until it is smooth and well combined.

3- Prepare to Fry:

• Spoon the batter into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
• In a large pot, pour vegetable or canola oil to reach halfway up the sides. Heat over medium-high heat.

4- Pipe and Fry:

• Carefully pipe the dough into the hot oil in 5-6 inch long ropes, cutting off the ends with kitchen scissors.
• Fry the churros in batches, turning as needed until they are golden brown, about 5-6 minutes per batch. Remove with tongs and place onto a plate lined with paper towels.

5- Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

• Immediately roll the hot churros in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring an even coating.

6- Serve:

• Plate your churros and serve with Nutella, chocolate sauce, or dulce de leche for dipping enjoyment.

• Let the dough cool down before adding eggs to prevent them from cooking prematurely.
