Ingredients:
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- In a saucepan, combine the water, butter, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously until the mixture forms a smooth dough.
- Return the saucepan to low heat and continue stirring for another minute to slightly cook the dough.
- Remove the dough from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, to the dough, beating well after each addition. The dough will become thick and glossy.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to approximately 375°F (190°C).
- Spoon the churro dough into a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
- Pipe 4-6 inch strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting them with scissors. Fry the churros until golden brown and crispy, turning them once during cooking.
- Remove the fried churros from the oil and drain them on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
- In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Roll the warm churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture until coated evenly.
