Servings: 6
Calories: 423kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup Butter
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon divided
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 1 ¼ cup Flour
- 2 large eggs
- Vegetable Oil for frying
- ½ cup Sugar
Instructions
- Fill a large pot with 2 inches of vegetable oil and heat until the oil reaches 350 degrees F.
- While the oil is heating, prepare the dough for the churro bites.
- In a small saucepan, add the water, butter, ¼ tsp of the cinnamon and salt. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low.
- Slowly add in the flour until a ball is formed. Then remove the saucepan from the heat and cool for 5 minutes. Then add the eggs into the mixture one at a time and stir until they are all combined.
- Attach a large star tip to a piping bag and spoon the dough mixture into the piping bag. Pipe 1-1 1/2 strips of dough over the sauce pan (cut the dough with a knife or kitchen scissors) and place them in the hot oil. Repeat the process until you have multiple churro bites frying the oil but be careful to not overcrowd the pan so that the churros can still fry.
- Fry the churro bites in the oil for 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown.
- Then remove the churro bites from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up the excess oil.
- Then in a small shallow dish, combine the sugar and the remaining cinnamon.
- Roll the churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture while they are still warm.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
You can store any leftover churro bites in an airtight container or bag at room temperature for up to 3 days but these are best served immediately after cooking.
