Ingredients

Scale

1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter
2 large eggs
1 cup (240 ml) water
1/4 teaspoon salt
Vegetable oil for frying
1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

In a large saucepan, bring 1 cup (240 ml) of water, 1/2 cup (113 g) of unsalted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to a boil. Reduce heat and add 1 cup (120 g) of all-purpose flour. Stir vigorously until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Allow the dough to cool for 5-10 minutes before adding 2 large eggs, one at a time. Mix until the dough is smooth and shiny.
In a deep pot or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe small segments (about 1 inch long) directly into the hot oil, using scissors to cut the dough off the tip. Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove churro bites with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. While still warm, toss them in a mixture of 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
Enjoy immediately or pair with dipping sauces like chocolate ganache or dulce de leche.

Notes

Keep the oil temperature steady at 375°F to ensure even cooking. Avoid overcrowding the pot to maintain the oil temperature. Use fresh cinnamon for the best flavor.
