Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in flour until a smooth ball forms.
  3. Return to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
  4. Transfer dough to a bowl. Beat in eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Spoon or pipe dough into hot oil, cutting off about 6-inch lengths. Fry in batches until golden brown and puffed, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  7. Remove churros with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  8. In a shallow dish, combine sugar and cinnamon. Roll warm churros in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Notes

  • Ensure oil temperature is consistent for even frying.
  • For crispier churros, you can fry them for an extra minute.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
