Ingredients

The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for dough)
  • 5 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon

Instruction

  • In a small skillet of high heat, combine the water and sugar to make a simple syrup. Bring the water to a boil to dissolve the sugar completely. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
  • Bring a pot of vegetable oil to 350 F.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and vegetable oil until crumbly. Pour in the simple syrup and stir until a sticky ball forms. Transfer the dough to a pastry bag with a star tip.
  • Pipe 1-2 inch long sections of dough into the hot oil. Use scissors to snip the dough. Let the dough cook for 2-5 minutes or until the dough is golden. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Whisk together the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl then roll the still warm churro bites in the sugar until completely covered.
  • OPTIONAL: If using, stir 1 tablespoon of water into strawberry jam or jelly to make a simple strawberry dipping sauce.
  • Serve the churros while still warm, and enjoy with strawberry, chocolate, caramel, and marshmallow dipping sauces. Enjoy!
