Instructions

- Heat the Oil:
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 375°F (190°C).
- Shape the Dough:
- Use a spoon or piping bag to form small balls of dough (about 1 tablespoon each). Carefully drop them into the hot oil.
- Fry the Churro Bombs:
- Fry the balls in small batches for about 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Coat in Cinnamon Sugar:
- Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll the warm churro bombs in the mixture until fully coated.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve your churro bombs warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as chocolate, caramel, or Nutella.
