Preparation

  5. Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle.
Frying
  1. Heat oil in a deep pan to about 175–180°C.
  2. Pipe the dough directly into the hot oil and cut with scissors to form churro strips.
  3. Fry for about 3–4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
  5. Roll the hot churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture and serve warm.

Notes

Serve warm for the best experience. You can enjoy them plain or with chocolate sauce for dipping. If storing leftovers, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days and reheat in the oven for a few minutes.
