Instructions

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine water, sugar, salt, and butter. Bring to a boil.
Remove from heat and stir in flour until a dough forms. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Mix in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla until smooth and thick.
Heat about 2 inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C).
Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 1-inch pieces of dough into the hot oil, cutting with scissors.
Fry in batches until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Immediately roll warm churro bites in cinnamon sugar mixture.
Serve warm with chocolate sauce or dulce de leche, if desired.

Notes

Let dough cool slightly before adding eggs to prevent scrambling.
Use a star tip for traditional churro ridges and texture.
Don’t overcrowd the pot to ensure even frying.
