Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Use your favorite pot (mine is a short and wide dutch oven) and add 1 cup water, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 3 tablespoons vegetable oil to the pot. Stir until it boils and remove from heat.
  2. Add the 1 cup of flour and stir until all combined.
  3. Put the dough into a large piping bag with the largest star tip you can find. The key is to have deep grooves for a crispy exterior and more surface area to hold the cinnamon-sugar. If the dough is having a hard time coming out of the tip, only fill the bag with half the dough at a time.
  4. The dough will still be quite hot, so don’t burn yourself! Start piping once you can hold the bag comfortably.
  5. Pipe long lengths of dough onto a cookie sheet. Make the dough strips almost the same size as the pan you will be frying them in. If you make them too long, they won’t fit!
  6. Place the tray of piped dough into the freezer. This step is important if you want nice and straight Churros, like they have at a Disney Park.
  7. While they are chilling, heat your oil in a pan on the stove (or in a deep fryer) to about 375-400F. Use a candy thermometer to make sure the oil is the right temperature.
  8. Once the oil is at a consistent temperature, carefully pick up the dough strips, with your fingers, one at a time and carefully add to the oil. Be sure to only place 2-3 dough strips in at a time — or the crowding will cause the temperature to drop (and that makes soggy churros and no one wants that).
  9. Fry the dough for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oil with tongs onto a paper-towel lined plate.
  10. While still hot, roll the churros in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. And you’re ready to eat!
