Equipment

  • Saucepan for boiling water and butter
  • Mixing bowl for combining ingredients
  • Electric mixer to mix the dough
  • Deep fryer for frying the churros

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar for dough
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sugar for coating churros
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon for coating churros

Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan, bring water, butter, and sugar to a boil. Stir until butter is fully melted.
  • Reduce heat to low. Add flour and stir vigorously until the mixture forms a smooth ball.
  • Transfer dough to a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat in eggs one at a time and add vanilla extract until the dough is smooth.

  • Combine sugar and cinnamon. Roll fried churros in the mixture while still warm.

Notes

  • Storage: Best served fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in an oven for crispiness.
  • Serving Tip: Serve with chocolate or caramel dipping sauce for extra indulgence.
