Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (240ml) water
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions:

  1. Combine water, butter, sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until butter is melted.
  2. Remove from heat and add flour all at once. Stir vigorously until a smooth dough forms.
  3. Return to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes to dry the dough slightly.
  4. Transfer dough to a mixing bowl and let cool slightly (5-10 minutes). Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. The dough should be smooth and pipeable.
  6. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  7. Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe bite-sized portions (about 1-inch long) onto the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. While churro bites are baking, prepare the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish.
  10. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a separate shallow dish.
  11. Once the churro bites are baked, let them cool slightly.
  12. Dip each churro bite in melted butter, then roll in cinnamon-sugar to coat evenly.
  13. Serve immediately and Enjoy.
