Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine water, 1/4 cup butter, 1 tablespoon sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until butter melts and mixture simmers.
- Remove from heat and quickly stir in flour until a smooth dough forms.
- Return to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute to dry out the dough.
- Transfer dough to a bowl. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Spoon the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip, or use two spoons to shape the dough into churro shapes about 4-5 inches long. Carefully drop churros into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and puffed.
- Remove churros with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- In a shallow dish, combine 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 cup sugar.
- Brush the warm churros with melted butter and roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Notes
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the churros for optimal crispiness.
- You can adjust the cinnamon sugar coating to your preference.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
