Equipment

• 1 Medium saucepan
• 1 Whisk
• 1 Wooden Spoon or Spatula
• 1 Large pastry bag fitted with a large star tip
• 1 Deep fryer or large pot
• 1 Tongs or slotted spoon
• 1 Paper towel-lined plate
• 1 Shallow dish for cinnamon-sugar mixture

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 Cup Water
• 1/4 Cup Unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 1 Tbsp Granulated sugar
• 1/4 Tsp Salt
• 1 Cup All-purpose flour
• 1 Large Egg

Instructions

 

• Make the Dough: 

  In a saucepan, heat water, butter, sugar, and salt over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low. Immediately add flour and stir vigorously until the dough pulls away from the sides and forms a ball. Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl, and let cool for 5 minutes. Beat in the egg until fully incorporated.
• Cinnamon Swirl:

  In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
• Divide Dough: 

  Transfer half of the dough to the pastry bag. Sprinkle 1/2 of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly on top of the remaining dough in the bowl. Layer the remaining half of the dough carefully on top of the cinnamon-sugar layer.
• Pipe and Fry: 

  Carefully pipe 4-5 inch ropes of dough directly into the hot oil, using 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 alongside a vanilla dipping sauce or a scoop of ice cream for a visually stunning dessert.

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

Recipe Notes:

• Swirl Technique: Gently press down the dough in the pastry bag to create layers as you pipe for a more pronounced swirl effect.
• Even Coating: Roll the churros thoroughly in the cinnamon-sugar mixture immediately after frying for best adherence.
