• 1 Deep fryer or large pot
• 1 Tongs or slotted spoon
• 1 Paper towel-lined plate
• 1 Shallow dish for cinnamon-sugar

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 Cup Water
• 1/4 Cup Unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 1 Tbsp Granulated sugar
• 1/4 Tsp Salr
• 1 Cup All purpose flour
• 1 Large Egg
• Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
• 1/2 Cup Granulated sugar, for coating
• 1 Tsp ground cinnamon, for coating

Instructions

 

• Make the Dough: In a saucepan, heat water, butter, sugar, and salt over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
• Add Flour: Reduce heat to low. Immediately add flour and stir vigorously until the dough pulls away from the sides and forms a ball.
• Incorporate Egg: Remove pan from heat. Transfer dough to a large bowl and let cool for 5 minutes. Beat in the egg until fully incorporated
• Heat Oil: Fill a deep fryer or large pot with 2 inches of oil. Heat to 360°F (180°C). Use a candy thermometer for accuracy.
• Pipe and Fry: Transfer dough to the pastry bag. Pipe thinner ropes of dough, creating loops or spirals directly into the hot oil. Use a knife or scissors to cut the dough. Fry in batches until golden brown, flipping once.
• Drain and Coat: Remove churros with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Immediately roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Notes

Serving Suggestions: Enjoy hot with a mug of thick and creamy Spanish hot chocolate for dipping.

Storage Guidance: Best eaten fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a day.

Recipe Notes:

• Piping Technique: Experiment with different piping motions to create unique spiral or loop shapes.
• Oil Temperature: Monitor oil temperature throughout frying to ensure consistent results.
• Don’t Overcrowd: Fry in batches to prevent churros from sticking and to maintain oil temperature.
