Ingredients:
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 cup (240ml) water
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Remove from heat and stir in the flour all at once. Cook, stirring constantly, until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl (or back into the saucepan, off the heat). Let cool slightly (about 5 minutes). Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. The dough will be smooth and slightly sticky.
- Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe small, 2-inch lengths of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. If you don't have a piping bag, you can use two spoons to drop small dollops of dough onto the baking sheet.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the churro bites are baking, combine sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
- While the churro bites are still warm, gently toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the Fiesta!
