Ingredients
· 1 cup water

Directions
Step 1: Gather Ingredients
You will need water, sugar, salt, vegetable oil, flour, cinnamon, and oil for frying.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
In a small saucepan, combine:
- 1 cup water
- 2 ½ tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Step 3: Place over medium heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat.
Step 4: Add Flour
Stir in 1 cup of flour until the mixture forms a dough ball.
Step 5: Heat Oil for Frying
Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep pot to 375°F (190°C).
Step 6: Pipe the Dough
Transfer the dough to a sturdy pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip. Carefully pipe 5- to 6-inch strips of dough into the hot oil. Be sure to work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Step 7: Fry the Churros
Cook the dough strips until golden brown. Once done, use a slotted spoon or spider to transfer the churros to paper towels to drain.
Step 8: Coat with Cinnamon and Sugar
In a separate bowl, combine:
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Step 9: Roll the drained churros in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
Enjoy your freshly made churros!
