Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine water and butter until boiling. Stir in flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder until a smooth dough forms.
- Allow the dough to cool for about 10 minutes.
- Fit a piping bag with a star tip and fill it with the dough. Pipe strips about six inches long onto parchment paper.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C). Test the oil with a small piece of dough; it should sizzle immediately.
- Carefully drop piped churros into the hot oil, frying them for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Remove churros from the oil and drain on paper towels. Coat immediately in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon while warm.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try rolling churros in flavored sugars like vanilla or cocoa powder.
- Store leftover churros in an airtight container at room temperature; reheat in a hot oven for crispiness.
