Description

Crispy, golden homemade churros rolled in cinnamon sugar and served with a rich chocolate dipping sauce. A classic Spanish and Mexican treat that’s fun and easy to make at home.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine water, sugar, salt, and butter. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat.
  2. Stir in the flour until a ball of dough forms. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
  5. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Pipe 4- to 6-inch strips of dough directly into the oil, cutting with scissors. Fry in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  7. Remove churros with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  8. Combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Roll warm churros in cinnamon sugar until coated.
  9. Serve immediately with chocolate sauce, if desired.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the oil; fry in batches for best results.
  • Keep oil at a steady 350°F for crispy churros.
  • Serve with chocolate sauce, caramel, or dulce de leche for dipping.
