Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (cut into pieces)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • Dipping Sauces (Optional but Recommended):
  • Chocolate Sauce
  • Dulce de Leche

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring this mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat immediately.
  2. Quickly add 1 cup of all-purpose flour all at once to the hot liquid. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon or a sturdy spatula until a smooth ball of dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
  3. Transfer the hot dough to a large mixing bowl. Let it cool for about 5-10 minutes. Once slightly cooled, add 2 large eggs, one at a time, beating the dough vigorously after each addition until smooth and glossy.
  4. In a large pot, pour enough vegetable oil to reach a depth of about 2-3 inches. Heat the oil over medium-high heat to 350-375°F (175-190°C). Prepare your cinnamon-sugar coating by combining 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon in a shallow dish.
  5. Once the oil is at the correct temperature, transfer your churro dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Carefully pipe 4-6 inch long strips of dough directly into the hot oil, cutting the dough cleanly from the piping bag.
  6. Fry the churros for 2-4 minutes, turning them occasionally with tongs, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  7. Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried churros from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While still hot, toss the churros in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat thoroughly.
  8. Transfer the coated churros to a serving platter. Repeat with the remaining dough. Serve your freshly made churros warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
