Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 8 tablespoons butter
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- 1½ cups vegetable or canola oil (for frying)
- ½ cup sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, salt, and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Stir in flour until the dough forms a ball. Remove from heat and let rest for 5–7 minutes.
- Add Eggs: Stir in eggs one at a time until smooth and slightly sticky.
- Heat Oil: Heat oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C).
- Pipe & Fry: Pipe 1-inch strips of dough into hot oil using a piping bag with a large star tip. Cut each strip and fry in batches until golden.
- Drain & Coat: Remove churros with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, then toss in cinnamon-sugar mixture (sugar + ½ teaspoon cinnamon) while still warm.
Notes
- Make it gluten-free by swapping all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
- Try dipping sauces like chocolate or caramel for extra indulgence.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the sugar for a unique twist.
- Use a filling tip to inject Nutella or dulce de leche for a richer bite.
- Reheat leftovers at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to refresh crispiness.
