Ingredients
  

Churro Dough
  • ½ cup whole milk Can substitute with non-dairy alternatives.
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour.
  • 3 large eggs
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup sugar For coating.
  • ½ cup sugar For coating.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Fit a piping bag with a star tip.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cinnamon and both types of sugar; set aside for coating.
  3. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine milk, butter, salt, and 1 tablespoon of sugar along with ½ cup of water. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat.
  4. Quickly stir in the flour using a wooden spoon, mixing vigorously for about 30 seconds until a dough forms.
  5. Transfer the dough to a stand mixer and let it cool for 5 to 7 minutes.
  6. With the mixer on medium-low speed, add eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  7. Once the dough is smooth, spoon it into the piping bag.
Cooking
  1. In a deep pot, heat vegetable oil to 350 degrees F.
  2. Pipe strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting them off with a knife at about 4 to 5 inches.
  3. Fry up to three churros at a time for about 2 minutes per side, until lightly golden.
  4. Remove churros from the oil and immediately toss in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  5. Place them on a cooling rack and serve warm.

Notes

Churros are best enjoyed fresh and warm. Consider serving them with a chocolate sauce or sweet cream for a fun twist. Leftover churros can be stored in an airtight container for one day or frozen for longer storage.
