Mix cinnamon and sugar in a shallow bowl.
- 2
Cut puff pastry into 4-inch strips about 0.5-inch wide.

Heat oil in a heavy skillet to 375°F. Test with a wooden spoon handle—bubbles should form around it immediately.

Fry pastry strips 60–90 seconds per side until deep golden, turning once. Work in batches to avoid crowding.

Transfer churros to paper towels, then roll in cinnamon sugar while still hot.
