Instructions

In either a pan or pot, add the water, butter, salt, and cinnamon. While heating the mixture over medium heat, melt everything together and bring the mixture to a boil.

Turn the heat to low.

Add all the flour to the mixture and stir quickly as well as vigorously to combine the ingredients and form a dough ball. Quickly remove from the heat when the dough ball starts to form.

Let the dough ball rest for 5 minutes.

Transfer the dough into a bowl and add eggs one at a time until well-combined.

Start heating your vegetable oil in your frying pan until it reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Scoop the churro dough into a piping bag that is fitted with a large star tip.

Begin squeezing 2-3 inch long churro dough piece into the hot oil cut the dough with a kitchen shear when it reaches its desired length.

Fry the churro bites until they are fully golden brown. Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

In a bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon for the churro topping.

After each churro bite is placed in the bowl, toss it around to coat thoroughly.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Oil Temperature is Critical 🌡️
Maintain oil at exactly 375°F for optimal results—too hot and the outside burns before the inside cooks, too cool and they'll be greasy instead of crispy.
Chill Your Dough Before Frying 🧊
Refrigerate the choux dough for at least 30 minutes before piping into hot oil; this prevents the bites from expanding too quickly and ensures even cooking with a tender interior.
Double-Dip Cinnamon Sugar Coating 🍂
Coat the warm churro bites immediately after frying in melted butter, then roll in cinnamon-sugar while still hot, and finish with a second light coating for that signature Disney crunch and sweetness.
Use a Piping Bag with Star Tip ⭐
A star-shaped piping tip creates authentic churro texture and increases surface area for better caramelization and cinnamon-sugar adhesion compared to round tips.
Prevent Oil Splattering with Scissors ✂️
Use kitchen scissors to snip the dough directly into hot oil instead of squeezing it out manually; this gives you better control and reduces dangerous oil splashing onto your hands.
