Ingredients

- For the churros:

1 cup water
1/2 cup butter cut into pieces
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
3 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil for frying

- For the topping:

1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon divided

Instructions



1) Fill a heavy bottomed pot with 1 1/2 inches of oil. Heat the oil to 350 degrees over medium heat. In a shallow dish, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon for the topping.

2) While the oil is heating, add the water, butter, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, and salt to a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low.

3) Add the flour, and stir to form a ball. Remove from heat and let cool 5 minutes.

4) Add eggs, one at a time, and stir until combined. Set aside.

5) Add a large star tip to a piping bag and spoon dough into the piping bag. Pipe dough over the hot oil and cut at 1-3 inches long. Repeat until churros fill the pan but make sure there is room to fry until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes on each side).

6) Remove churros from oil with slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate.



7) While still warm, roll in cinnamon/sugar mixture. Serve warm.
