# Ingredients:
→ Wet Ingredients
01 -
1 cup water
02 -
2 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
03 -
1/2 tsp salt
04 -
2 tbsp vegetable oil
→ Dry Ingredients
05 -
1 cup all-purpose flour
→ Frying
06 -
2 quarts oil for frying
→ Coating
07 -
1/2 cup granulated sugar
08 -
1 tsp ground cinnamon
# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a medium saucepan and mix water, granulated sugar, salt, and vegetable oil. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
02 -
Once the mixture is boiling, remove it from the heat and stir in the all-purpose flour until you achieve a smooth dough. Allow the dough to cool for about 10 minutes.
03 -
In a large pan, heat 2 quarts of oil to around 375°F (190°C) for frying the churros.
04 -
Load your cooled dough into a piping bag fitted with a star tip for that perfect churro shape.
05 -
Pipe strips of dough into the hot oil carefully. Fry the churros until they are golden and crispy, approximately 2 minutes on each side. Once done, drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
06 -
In a shallow dish, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Toss the fried churros in this mixture until they are thoroughly coated in sweet, spicy goodness.
# Notes:
01 -
Tip for Piping: Ensure that the dough is not too hot when placing it in the piping bag, as this may cause the bag to melt or burst.
02 -
Oil Temperature: Use a kitchen thermometer to keep track of the oil temperature; if it’s too cool, churros will become greasy, and if it’s too hot, they may burn quickly.

Serving Suggestion: Serve churros warm for the best texture and flavor. They are delightful on their own or paired with chocolate sauce for dipping.
