Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup water
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into 6 pieces
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 - 3 large eggs room temperature
  • Vegetable oil or canola oil to fry churros

Cinnamon Sugar

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Heat Oil: In a deep fryer or large pan, add about 2 inches of oil but no fuller than halfway up the sides. Heat over medium heat to 375°.
  • Measure flour and set aside
  • Bring water, butter, vanilla, sugar, and salt to a boil in a 3-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Immediately remove from heat, and quickly stir in flour mixture all at once.
  • Return to heat and stir with a wooden spoon for 1 to 2 minutes, or until dough is smooth and forms a ball 
  • Transfer dough to the bowl of an electric mixer and let cool 5 minutes.
  • Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until mixture is smooth and glossy. (Watch my how to make cream puffs video https://www.barbarabakes.com/how-to-make-cream-puffs-video-and-easy-step-by-step-photos-and-instructions/ to see the consistency you want your batter to be.)
  • Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: whisk together ½ cup sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish or pie plate, set aside.
  • Spoon dough into a pastry bag fitted with a closed rose tip (Wilton 1F or Ateco 846).
  • Carefully pipe dough into preheated oil, in 6-inch lengths. Use kitchen scissors or tongs to cut off dough from piping bag. Cook 2 or 3 churros at a time. Fry until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Remove churros with tongs to a plate to cooling tray lined with paper towels. Roll churros in cinnamon sugar, and place on a cooling rack.
  • Repeat process with remaining dough.
  • Serve warm with dulce de leche or chocolate sauce for dipping if desired.
