# What You’ll Need:
→ Dough
01 - 1 cup water
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
04 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
05 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
06 - 1 large egg
→ For Frying
07 - 2 cups vegetable oil
→ Cinnamon Sugar Coating
08 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
09 - 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
# Directions:
01 - In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine water, sugar, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
02 - Add all the flour at once, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides, about 1 to 2 minutes.
03 - Remove the saucepan from heat and let the dough cool for 5 minutes.
04 - Stir in the egg until the mixture is smooth and glossy, resulting in a thick, sticky dough.
05 - Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F.
06 - Transfer dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe 1-inch pieces directly into the hot oil, cutting with scissors or a knife.
07 - Fry churro bites in batches, turning occasionally until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per batch.
08 - Remove fried bites with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
09 - While still warm, toss churro bites in a bowl with cinnamon sugar to coat evenly.
10 - Serve immediately, optionally accompanied by chocolate, caramel, or dulce de leche sauce.
