Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs

For Frying

  • Vegetable oil (enough to fill 2-3 inches in a deep pan for frying)

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Combine water, unsalted butter, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat immediately and stir in all-purpose flour until a smooth dough forms. Let cool slightly, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well until you achieve a thick, pipeable consistency.
  2. Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep frying pan or pot to a depth of 2-3 inches. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C) to ensure perfect frying temperature for golden, crispy churro bites.
  3. Pipe and Fry the Bites: Use a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle to pipe small bite-sized loops or drops of dough directly into the hot oil. Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes, turning as needed, until golden brown and crispy all over.
  4. Drain and Coat: Remove the fried churro bites with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. While still warm, toss them in a cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated with the sweet crust.

Notes

  • Maintain oil temperature between 350°F and 375°F using a thermometer for optimal crispiness.
  • Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding and temperature drops.
  • Pipe consistent sizes for even cooking and uniform crunch.
  • Use freshly ground cinnamon and fresh sugar for maximum flavor on the coating.
  • Serve churro bites warm shortly after frying for the best texture and flavor.
