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 Cuo 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
• Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
• 3/4 Cup Granulated sugar, for coating
• 2 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 thicker ropes of dough (about ½ inch) directly into the hot oil. Use a knife or scissors to cut the dough into 3-4 inch lengths. 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, making sure to coat generously.

Notes

Serving Suggestions: Serve warm with a side of hot chocolate, caramel sauce, or dulce de leche for dipping.

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

Recipe Notes:

• Thicker Dough: Use a slightly smaller piping tip or pipe thicker lines of dough to achieve the Mexican-style thickness.
• Generous Cinnamon Sugar: Use a larger amount of cinnamon sugar for a more robust flavor profile.
• 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.
