Cinnamon Sugar Churros

Golden and crunchy fried dough strips coated in a sweet mixture of cinnamon and sugar.

Ingredients

Dough

• 250ml water
• 50g butter
• 150g all-purpose flour
• 2g salt
• 1 large egg
• 500ml frying oil

Coating

• 100g granulated sugar
• 10g ground cinnamon

Preparation

Dough

1. Boil 250ml water and 50g butter in a pot then stir in 150g flour and salt until a stiff dough forms
2. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly before mixing in the egg until combined
3. Pipe the dough into 10cm lengths onto parchment paper

Coating

1. Heat oil to 180 Celsius and fry the dough strips for 4 minutes until they are crunchy and dark gold
2. While frying, mix 100g sugar and 10g cinnamon in a shallow bowl
3. Remove the hot churros from the oil and toss them in the cinnamon sugar until completely coated

Tips

• Coat the churros in the sugar mixture while they are still hot so the sugar adheres better
• For an extra airy texture, make sure the water and butter are at a rolling boil before adding flour
• Serve these warm as they lose their signature crunch if left to sit for too long
