Churros are a delicious Spanish treat. They are covered in cinnamon sugar and are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. You can eat them as a snack or to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Ingredients: 1 cup water. 2 1/2 tablespoons white sugar. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. 1 cup all-purpose flour. 2 quarts vegetable oil for frying. 1/2 cup white sugar, for coating. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, for coating.
Instructions: Put water, 2 1/2 tablespoons of sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a small saucepan and heat it over medium-low. Bring the mix to a boil, then take it off the heat. Add one cup of all-purpose flour and mix it in until it forms a ball. In a big, deep skillet, heat 2 quarts of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. About 190 degrees C 375 degrees F should be reached by the oil. Put the dough into a pastry bag that has a star-shaped tip. Pipe thin strips of dough into the hot oil with care. It should take about two to three minutes on each side to fry until golden brown and crispy. Take the churros out of the oil and let them drain on paper towels. On a flat surface, mix together 1/2 cup of white sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Coat the fried churros in the cinnamon-sugar mix by rolling them in it. Warm up the churros and enjoy them!
