Instructions
-
In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, and butter.
-
Place the saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
-
Remove from heat and immediately add all-purpose flour all at once.
-
Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon for about two minutes until a cohesive dough ball forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
-
Transfer the dough to a bowl and let it cool for five minutes. This step is crucial before adding the eggs.
-
Transfer the slightly cooled dough to a stand mixer (or use a hand mixer).
-
Add room temperature eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
-
The dough will become thick and smooth. Add a dash of vanilla extract and mix again.
-
Transfer the heavy dough into a sturdy piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle.
-
Heat a generous amount of oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot, but not excessively so.
-
Pipe the churros directly into the hot oil, cutting them to your desired length. Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
-
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried churros from the oil and place them immediately on a wire rack to drain excess oil. This helps them stay crispy.
-
While the churros are still hot, roll them in a mixture of sugar and ground cinnamon.
-
Serve the churros immediately while hot, with your favorite dipping sauce.
