# Ingredients:
→ Dough Mix
01 -
1 cup all-purpose flour
02 -
2 tbsp vegetable oil
03 -
½ tsp salt
04 -
2 ½ tbsp granulated sugar
05 -
1 cup water
→ Cooking Oil
06 -
2 quarts vegetable oil
→ Sugar Coating
07 -
1 tsp ground cinnamon
08 -
½ cup granulated sugar
# Instructions:
01 -
Combine water, sugar, salt, and oil in a medium pot. Heat over medium-high until it starts boiling.
02 -
Take the pot off the stove, blending in the flour until it comes together smoothly. Cool for 10 minutes.
03 -
Heat 2 quarts of oil in a large deep pan to 375°F (190°C).
04 -
Move the cooled dough into a piping bag with a star tip attachment.
05 -
Squeeze strips of dough into the hot oil. Fry each for 2 minutes on both sides until crispy and golden. Set them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
06 -
Combine cinnamon and sugar in a wide dish. Toss the warm churros in the sugary mix until they're covered.
# Notes:
01 -
Allow the dough to cool before piping—this prevents the bag from melting.
02 -
Keep the oil temperature steady at 375°F (190°C) with a kitchen thermometer.
03 -
They taste best warm! Try serving them with a chocolate dipping sauce.
