Churros have a rich and flavorful history that traces back to Spain, where they are believed to have originated. The exact origins of churros are somewhat debated, but many food historians agree that they emerged from a combination of European and Moorish influences. The traditional Spanish churro is made from a simple dough of flour, water, and salt, which is then piped through a star-shaped nozzle and deep-fried until golden and crispy.

Ingredients
  

1 cup water

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)

Oil (for frying)

Chocolate sauce (for dipping)

Instructions
 

In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

    Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the flour until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

      Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Stir in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

        In a separate small bowl, mix the 1/4 cup of sugar with the ground cinnamon. Set aside.

          Heat oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 350°F (175°C).

            Transfer the churro dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Carefully pipe small, bite-sized lengths of dough (about 1-2 inches) directly into the hot oil, cutting them with scissors as you go. Don’t overcrowd the pan.

              Fry the churro poppers until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 2-3 minutes. Remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

                While they are still hot, roll the churro poppers in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.

                  Serve warm with chocolate sauce for dipping.
