Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 2 ½ tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
For Coating:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
For Dipping (Optional):
- Melted chocolate or caramel sauce
Instructions
- Prepare Dough: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then add flour all at once. Stir continuously until a dough forms and pulls away from the pan. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Incorporate Egg & Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the dough, mixing until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
- Heat Oil: In a deep pan, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the Churros: Pipe small dollops of dough directly into the hot oil, cutting each with a knife or scissors. Fry in batches until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per batch).
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Remove churro poppers and drain on paper towels. Toss in a mix of sugar and cinnamon while warm.
- Serve: Enjoy warm with chocolate or caramel sauce for dipping!
Notes
- Make sure the oil stays at a consistent temperature for even frying.
- If the dough is too thick to pipe, let it cool a bit more before adding the egg.
- Best served fresh but can be reheated in an air fryer for crispiness.
