I still remember the first time I went to the cinema with my family in middle school. Mom bought me churros to eat. I was amazed at how delicious they were! How could a movie snack be so good? (Because I don't really like popcorn, haha~) From then on, I fell in love with the taste of churros. However, a churro at the cinema isn't cheap, even with a movie ticket. So, I decided to try making them myself! It turned out to be much easier than I thought, and the ingredients are quite common. Now, I can enjoy delicious churros at home.

Steps

30 minutes

1

Melt the unsalted butter, water, sugar, and salt over medium-low heat until it boils, then turn off the heat.
2

Sift the all-purpose flour into the boiled butter mixture and stir with a spoon or spatula to form a dough.
3

Add the beaten egg and mix well. The dough will become sticky.
4

Put the dough into a piping bag and pipe it onto small pieces of parchment paper. Be creative and pipe any shape you like! I made churros, rings, and U-shapes.
5

Heat oil in a pot to between 340-360°F. You can test the oil temperature by inserting a wooden chopstick; if bubbles form around it, the oil is ready. Fry the dough with the parchment paper for about 2-3 seconds, then the paper will easily separate from the dough. Fry until both sides are golden brown (about 2-3 minutes), then remove from the oil.
6

Prepare the cinnamon sugar. I didn't have fine sugar, so I used large granules, which didn't stick well to the churros. I recommend using finer sugar! Gently mix the granulated sugar with the cinnamon powder. Coat the churros with the cinnamon sugar after frying.

The unique aroma of cinnamon paired with freshly fried, hot churros is a perfect match. No wonder Americans love them so much. They're also commonly found at amusement parks abroad. I think churro rings look cute too. Next time you're craving something sweet, get creative and make your own churro dish!
