Cinnamon Sugar Churros Irresistible and Easy Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 large eggs
• as needed cup vegetable oil for frying
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, salt, and butter. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat.
2. Once boiling, remove from heat and quickly stir in the flour until the mixture forms a ball. Let it cool for about 5 minutes.
3. Add eggs one at a time to the dough, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.
4. In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
5. While the oil is heating, transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
6. Pipe 4-6 inch strips of dough directly into the hot oil, cutting them with scissors. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
7. Use a slotted spoon to remove churros from the oil, and drain on paper towels.
8. In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Roll the fried churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture while still warm.
