How to make Disney Churros
- Step 1. First, put oil in medium skillet. Fill it with the vegetable oil and heat it until temperature reaches 350 degrees.
Step 2. Get out a saucepan and add the water, butter, ¼ tsp of the cinnamon and salt. Don’t use all of the cinnamon. You will need that later.
Step 3. Then stir the mixture until it is well combined. Bring pot to rolling boil and reduce the heat to low.
Step 4. Now add the flour and stir vigorously until mix forms a ball.
Step 5. Once you see the ball form, remove the pan from the heat.
Step 6. Let this cool for 5 minutes and then add the eggs into the mixture.
Step 7. Make sure to add the eggs one at a time and stir until they are all combined.
Step 8. Next, you will need a piping bag with a large star tip. Spoon dough into piping bag fitted with large star tip.
Step 9. Then pipe strips of dough over the sauce pan and put in the hot oil. You can cut the dough with a knife. Fry churro bites for about 2 to 3 minutes on medium-high heat until they are golden brown. Remove the churros from the oil using a spider strainer. Drain churro bites on parchment paper or paper towels to soak up the excess oil.
Step 10. Use a small shallow dish or medium bowl and mix sugar and the remaining cinnamon.
Step 11. Finally, toss the churro bites until coated in the cinnamon sugar mixture while they are still warm. Place on a serving plate and serve with favorite dipping sauce.

Pro Tips
- Cool the dough. It is very important that you allow the dough to cool prior to adding the eggs.

- Oil. Don’t try to fry the churros until the oil has heated up properly.
