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 Precision 🌡️
Maintain oil at exactly 375°F for optimal frying—use a thermometer to prevent soggy or burnt churros, as temperature fluctuations dramatically affect texture and crispiness.
Piping Bag Technique 🎯
Use a star-shaped piping tip and pipe directly into hot oil, then immediately snip with kitchen scissors to create uniform bite-sized pieces that cook evenly.
Cinnamon-Sugar Coating Timing ⏱️
Apply the cinnamon-sugar mixture while churros are still hot and slightly wet—this allows the coating to adhere perfectly and create that signature crispy-sweet exterior.
Dough Consistency Control 🥄
Keep your choux dough warm but not hot (around 90°F) for easier piping; cold dough becomes stiff and difficult to work with, while overheated dough can cook prematurely in the pastry bag.
Dulce de Leche Pairing 🍯
Serve with warm dulce de leche or chocolate sauce for dipping—briefly warming these sauces intensifies flavor and creates the authentic Disney park experience that elevates your homemade treat.
