Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted, and the mixture starts to simmer. Stir in the flour all at once, then reduce the heat to low and stir until the dough comes together and forms a ball. Remove from heat.
  2. Add the Eggs:
    Let the dough cool for a few minutes. Once cooled enough to handle, add the eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Continue mixing until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Heat the Oil:
    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Fry the Churro Bites:
    Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop small portions of the dough (about 1 tablespoon each) into the hot oil. Fry the churro bites in batches for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the churro bites and drain them on paper towels.
  5. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar:
    In a shallow bowl, combine the 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon. While the churro bites are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat thoroughly.
  6. Serve and Enjoy:
    Serve the churro bites warm with a side of chocolate sauce or caramel for dipping. Enjoy the crispy, sugary goodness of your homemade churro bites!
