How to make Easy Homemade Churros
Step 1: Combine half cup water, half cup milk, 8 tablespoons butter, a tsp sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil while frequently stirring over medium heat.
Step 2: Remove the saucepan from the heat, and with a wooden spoon, quickly stir in a cup of flour until well incorporated.
Step 3: Place the saucepan back on the heat. To release the extra moisture, stir for about 2 minutes until a smooth dough ball and a thin film form on the bottom of the pan.
Step 4: Into a large mixing bowl, transfer the mixture from the saucepan. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Add in the eggs a piece at a time, beating every after each addition. Continue to mix until you have a smooth dough that forms a thick ribbon when pulled up.
Step 5: Heat to 375 degrees F two inches deep vegetable oil, keeping the oil’s temperature between 350 to 375 degrees F when frying.
Step 6: Into a pastry bag fitted with a large open star tip, transfer the dough and the pipe 6 inches of dough into the hot oil. Use scissors to cut the dough. Fry the dough for about 1 1/2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Use tongs to flip the dough and fry the other side for 1 1/2 minutes more. I suggest frying in batches, around 5 to 6 churros at a time.
Step 7: Place the cooked churros on a paper towel-lined plate. Roll them in cinnamon sugar.
Step 8: Serve and enjoy!
