Cooking Instructions

50 minutes
  1. 1

    Bring the water with the lemon zest to a boil. Add the butter and salt, and let the butter melt completely.

  2. 2

    Add the flour, cinnamon if you like, and vanilla. Remove from heat and stir vigorously until it forms a puree-like consistency.

  3. 3

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing each time with a plastic or wooden spoon (it doesn't need to be cold), until all are added. Work the dough until it looks creamy.

  4. 4

    Put the dough in the piping bag with a wide tip and squeeze it over the hot oil to form the churros, about 5 inches each. Do not overcrowd; they should be separate, about 4 or 5 churros at a time for a standard-sized pan.

  5. 5

    Fry for 2 to 2.5 minutes on each side until golden. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle with sugar or cinnamon, to taste. They can be eaten warm or cold.
