Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine water, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove from the heat.
-
Stir in the flour until the mixture forms a ball. It should come together easily and not be sticky. Set the dough aside for a few minutes to cool slightly.
-
Heat the oil for frying in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of dough into the oil; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is hot enough.
-
Place the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip for shaping the churros.
-
Carefully pipe 6-inch strips of dough into the hot oil using scissors to cut the dough. Fry 3 or 4 churros at a time, turning them occasionally until golden brown.
-
Remove the churros from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
-
Mix the remaining white sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. While the churros are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
-
Serve your homemade Churros Cinnamon Sugar Fried Dough warm and enjoy the magic of the holiday season with every sweet bite.
