Ingredients
Directions
12 STEPS
1
In a shallow dish, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon for coating. Set aside.
2
In a large saucepan, combine water, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and salt; bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3
Add all-purpose flour and reduce heat to medium-low. Stir constantly with a rubber spatula until the mixture becomes smooth and develops a few lumps.
4
Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl and let cool for 5 minutes.
5
Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the flour mixture, blending it immediately with an electric mixer until smooth and well combined.
6
Fill a 16-inch piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch rounded star tip with the churro batter.
7
Heat about 1 1/2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or large pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 360 degrees Fahrenheit.
8
Pipe 6-inch lengths of churro batter into the preheated oil, cutting the ends with clean scissors. Do not fry more than 5 churros at a time.
9
Fry the churros for 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
10
Remove churros from the oil, placing them briefly on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
11
Roll each churro in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
12
Serve warm with chocolate ganache or caramel sauce for dipping, if desired.
