Ingredients
- For the Churro Bites:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Optional for Serving:
- Chocolate or caramel sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the flour until a dough forms. Let it cool for about 5 minutes.
- Mix in Eggs:
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until smooth.
- Heat the Oil:
- In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the Churro Bites:
- Using a pastry bag or a spoon, drop small balls of dough (about 1 inch in diameter) into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar:
- In a bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together. While the churro bites are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.
- Serve:
- Serve warm with chocolate or caramel sauce for dipping, if desired. Enjoy your delicious churro bites!
