Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cup water
- 2 cups neutral oil for frying
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- 1
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Stir in water until a thick, sticky dough forms.
- 2
Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (use a thermometer). Test with a small piece of dough—it should sizzle and float immediately.
- 3
Transfer dough to a piping bag with a large star tip. Pipe 2-inch lengths directly into hot oil, using scissors to cut dough cleanly.
- 4
Fry 4–5 pieces at a time for 90 seconds per side until golden brown and crispy. Don't crowd the pan.
- 5
Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
- 6
While still warm, toss churro bites in cinnamon sugar until fully coated. Serve immediately.
