Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs

For Frying

  • 2 to 3 cups vegetable oil for frying

Coating

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Combine the water, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and kosher salt in a medium-sized pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat and immediately add the all-purpose flour. Whisk vigorously until the mixture forms a smooth dough ball that pulls away from the sides of the pot.
  2. Mix in Eggs: Let the dough cool for a few minutes until it is warm but not hot. Beat in the large eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until the dough becomes sticky and silky in texture.
  3. Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep frying pan or pot to a depth of about 2 to 3 inches. Using a candy or deep-fry thermometer, heat the oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius), ensuring it maintains consistent temperature during frying.
  4. Pipe and Fry the Bites: Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Cut the dough into 2-inch lengths directly into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes while stirring occasionally until the churro bites are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  5. Drain and Coat: Use a slotted spoon to remove the churro bites from the oil and place them on a cooling rack to drain excess oil. While still warm, toss the bites in a cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated. Serve immediately for best crispness.

Notes

  • Make sure the dough cools slightly before adding eggs to avoid cooking them.
  • Maintain oil temperature at 375°F for crispy results without sogginess.
  • Use a large star piping tip to get traditional churro ridges and texture.
  • Allow the churro bites to drain fully on a cooling rack to keep them crispy.
  • For a chocolate dipping sauce, melt chocolate and serve alongside the churro bites.
