Prep time: 15 mins
Total time: 30 mins
⏩ Ingredients:
- 1 cup of water
- 2 tablespoons of white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 quarts of oil for frying
- 1/2 cup of white sugar
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
⏩ Instructions:
1. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine water, sugar, salt, and vegetable oil. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil.
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add in the all-purpose flour. Stir the mixture until it forms a ball of dough.
3. Heat up 2 quarts of oil in a deep fryer or large pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
4. Using a piping bag with a star nozzle, pipe the dough into the hot oil, cutting it off with scissors. Fry the churros until they're golden brown, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking.
5. Remove the churros from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
6. Combine white sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish. Roll the warm churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture until they are coated.
⏩ Key Points:
- Don't over-mix the dough, as it can become tough.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the churros to ensure they cook evenly.
- Rolling the churros in cinnamon sugar while they're still warm is key to getting the coating to stick.
⏩ Tips:
- Serve your churros with chocolate sauce, dulce de leche, or caramel sauce for an extra special treat.
- You can also pipe the dough into different shapes, like hearts or stars, for added fun.
