Delicious Homemade Churros Recipe

In a saucepan, *heat the water, butter, sugar, vanilla extract,* and pinch of salt until the butter melts and the mixture begins to boil. *This combination of flavors will give your churros a wonderful base.*

Once boiling, *add all the flour in one go* and stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. This may take some effort, but it's essential for the perfect churro texture.

Allow the dough to *cool for 5 to 10 minutes.* This step is important to prevent the eggs from cooking when added. Then, one by one, *add the two eggs, mixing well after each addition.* Using an electric mixer can make this step easier and quicker.

Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle. *This nozzle will create the classic churro shape.* Next, heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to about 190 degrees Celsius (375 degrees Fahrenheit).

Once the oil is hot, *pipe 5 to 6 churros directly into the oil.* You can use scissors to cut off the churro from the piping bag. Fry the churros for about *10 minutes, turning them occasionally* to ensure they cook evenly and develop a golden brown crust.

When they are fully cooked, *remove the churros and place them on paper towels* to drain any excess oil.

In a bowl, *mix the sugar and cinnamon together.* Once your churros have cooled slightly, roll them in the sugar-cinnamon mixture to coat them generously. This adds a delightful sweetness and flavor to every bite.

For an extra treat, *serve your churros with warm chocolate sauce for dipping.* Enjoy your homemade churros fresh and warm, perfect for snacking or entertaining guests!
