Churros

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200° F. Set aside a sheet pan or baking dish to store churros in warm oven. Prepare piping bag and set aside in a tall cup. Prepare Sugar cinnamon mixture in a container where you can roll the churros (i.e. casserole dish) and set aside.

Step 2

In a small sauce pan, bring water, salt, sugar, and butter to a boil. Add flour and cook until the dough pulls from the sides of the pot.

Step 3

Remove from heat and transfer into an electric mixing bowl with paddle attachment. Mix a little to cool slightly, then add eggs one at a time, until a soft peak forms.

Step 4

Heat oil to 350°F for frying. I prefer to use cast iron. (see "Frying" above)

Step 5

Transfer dough to prepared piping bag. ( see "Piping" above)

Step 6

Pipe dough and cut into hot oil to fry. Be sure to hold it low to avoid big splashes of hot oil. Fry until brown.

Step 7

Transfer from oil to cinnamon sugar mixture and roll to coat evenly. Transfer to sheet pan and keep in the oven until all the dough is fried.

Step 8

Enjoy your churros while they're warm! (:
